Does the following look better?

Generate code that may keep all lanes in each warp active, even when
observable effects from execution must appear as if only one lane is active.
This is achieved by instrumenting syscalls and atomic instructions in a
lightweight way, allowing the compiler to emit code that can switch at run
time between this and conventional execution modes. This code generation
variant is used for OpenMP offloading, but the option is exposed on its own
for the purpose of testing the compiler; to generate code suitable for linking
into programs using OpenMP offloading, use option @option{-mgomp}.

Yes, this version looks fine.  Sorry about the delay in reviewing this.  :-(
