Re: RETURN_ADDR_RTX / new target macro: ALLOCATE_INITIAL_VALUE

The GNU Coding standards still contain this paragraph:

 There's no need to make change log entries for documentation files. This is because documentation is not susceptible to
 bugs that are hard to fix. Documentation does not consist of parts that must interact in a precisely engineered fashion.
 To correct an error, you need not know the history of the erroneous passage; it is enough to compare what the
 documentation says with the way the program actually works. 

If that is not longer to be followed, we should take it out.

Oops, cut&paste got me here.  I usually copy the header from the next
comparable entry (arguments / no arguments etc) and adjust to fit.
In this case from MD_CAN_REDIRECT_BRANCH.  Is there a good reason why this
is described in a table of its own?
