To keep the code and documentation in sync, I suggest keeping the
portion generated from
qemu-img-cmds.hx, qemu-monitor.hx and qemu-options.hx in texinfo
format under revision control.
This encourages updating the documentation in the same patch that adds
new options and monitor commands.

The "QEMU System emulator for non PC targets" section in qemu-doc.texi
seems rather qemu version dependent as well? If true, moving this
information to a wiki risks the documentation not matching the qemu
version installed on users' machines.
