Vicente,

Thanks for helping to improve our documentation.

This patch is missing a signed-off-by line, which we require for
contributions to the project. If you'd like, you can reply to your patch
email to add said line if further edits to the patch aren't required.

[See https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch; this page is very
long, so here's the relevant excerpt: "You must provide a Signed-off-by:
line (this is a hard requirement because it's how you say "I'm legally
okay to contribute this and happy for it to go into QEMU", modeled after
the Linux kernel policy.) git commit -s or git format-patch -s will add
one."]

Every patch also needs a commit message of some kind, something akin to:

"Documentation: document pretty parameter for mon option"

I'm not sure if any other changes are needed or not; it looks OK to me
based on vl.c:2522 where the option is added at runtime.

Thanks,
John
