I believe __declspec in Intel C++ compiler comes from:

How is Microsoft documentation, the real documentation for Intel C++
compiler? Have you seen the Cell language extension document [1]? We
document everything that is needed to be supported where does
Intel/AMD document those? I have not seen a document like that for
SSE/3DNow programming at all.
In your patch, you forgot to document that you now accept __declspec
for all x86 targets and the extra attribute you now accept there. The
documentation for align attribute should have in bold this is only for
__declspec. You should also mention what __declspecs are supported
because right now you don't mention anything.
