How about

  "support for inline assembly, new registers and extending existing ones,
  new intrinsics, and basic autovectorization"

?  Please keep an eye on whether I might have changed the meaning; the
above is my interpretation of what I _think_ I read.

(To not make this too long I'd omit the testsuite aspect unless you feel
strong about it.  Then I'd ask the question why only that part is covered
by the testsuite, though. ;-)

No attribution to Intel or the actual developers as we have done in
other cases?

Can you adjust this similarly (but keep/add the testsuite piece)?

"via the following" (add the)

Here I'd add a colon after each "instructions".

Is there an option to enable all of them together?


This is fine with these changes or different ones addressing the
items I pointed out.

Thanks,
