I checked in the following patch to update the documentation for tm_p.h. I
noticed the FIXME comment in the texi source when I was working on my previous
patch for combining the standard and machine dependent builtin indexes. While
that patch did not go in, I figured I could improve the documentation for
tm_p.h.

+can include prototypes of functions that use rtl and tree data

+TREE_CODE} conditional code segements. The
+@file{@var{machine}-protos.h} is included after the @file{rtl.h}
+and/or @file{tree.h} would have been included. The @file{tm_p.h} also
+includes the header @file{tm-preds.h} which is generated by
+@file{genpreds} program during the build to define the declarations
+and inline functions for the predicate functions.
