@item -smp n
Simulate an SMP system with @var{n} CPUs. On the PC target, up to 255
-CPUs are supported.
+CPUs are supported. On Sparc32 target, Linux limits the number of usable CPUs
+to 4.
@item -audio-help
Use the executable @file{qemu-system-sparc} to simulate a SparcStation 5
or SparcStation 10 (sun4m architecture). The emulation is somewhat complete.
+SMP up to 16 CPUs is supported, but Linux limits the number of usable CPUs
+to 4.
QEMU emulates the following sun4m peripherals:
CS4231 sound device (only on SS-5, not working yet)

+The number of peripherals is fixed in the architecture. Maximum memory size
+depends on the machine type, for SS-5 it is 256MB and for SS-10 2047MB.
