Two things don't make sense:
1. Do you have to write "downscript=no" to disable
downscript execution? If you don't need it, that part of the
documentation is unnecessary. If you do need it, then it's not
backward-compatible with earlier QEMU versions.
2. If you do need "downscript=no" to disable it, what's
the default downscript name if you don't have "downscript=no"?
Also, it would be better for the text to describe the options in the
same order as the synopsis in the first line, especially describing
the two script options without anything else between.
