Thanks for thinking of this, Kyrill.

Thanks for the feedback.

===================================================================
+     <li>
+       The AArch64 port now supports target attributes and pragmas.  Please
+       refer to the documentation for details of available attributes and
+       pragmas as well as usage instructions.
+     </li>

Here, isn't the second sentence the default assumption anyway,
that is, do we need to highlight it specifically or can we omit
it?

My thinking was that when we introduce some new command-line option we list it
here and give a short description of it (new -mcpu values, for example).
However, here we introduce about 10 new target attributes and pragmas and listing
them all would make this entry too long for my liking so as a shorthand for listing
them all I chose to point to the documentation.

Unless you feel strongly against this reasoning I'd like to commit the
patch as is within 48 hours.



Please consider this feedback (and "let's keep it as is" is a
fine response, too) and go ahead.

Gerald
