My thinking was that when we introduce some new command-line option we list it
here and give a short description of it (new -mcpu values, for example).
However, here we introduce about 10 new target attributes and pragmas and listing
them all would make this entry too long for my liking so as a shorthand for listing
them all I chose to point to the documentation.

Unless you feel strongly against this reasoning I'd like to commit the
patch as is within 48 hours.
