Commit message needs updating -- should say "-nographic", not
"-display nographic".

Minor wording tweaks:

"Do not display video output. The guest will still see an emulated
graphics card, but its output will not be displayed to the QEMU
user. This option differs from the -nographic option in that it
only affects what is done with video output; -nographic also changes
the destination of the serial and parallel port data."
