Thanks - that was the piece I was missing.  I can confirm that the
commit includes:

     "       [,readonly=on|off]\n"
+    "
[[,bps=b]|[[,bps_rd=r][,bps_wr=w]]][[,iops=i]|[[,iops_rd=r][,iops_wr=w]]\n"
     "                use 'file' as a drive image\n", QEMU_ARCH_ALL)

which means that this is an accurate test.  And when qemu 1.1 is ever
released, we can update tests/qemuhelpdata/ to capture the -help output
of the new release and ensure that this bit gets set appropriately (all
of the existing qemu -help output in that directory are from qemu
versions that pre-date the capability, so you already have the
counterpoint test that we are not hitting false positives with this
strstr()).

ACK and pushed.
