Hi!

This is a first set of release notes for Power for GCC 8.

Is this okay to commit?

Yes, thank you!

Just the move of  <!-- <h3 id="nvptx">NVPTX</h3> -->  seems 
unclear to me?  Can you omit that?

The entries are alphabetic, except that one.  Should have put it in
a separate patch, sorry.

Actually it was fine as I just realize.

I got confused by hppa and nvptx (which is sorted properly) vs
PA-RISC and NVPTX (which is not).  Obviously we should sort by
what folks see, not the HTML IDs.  Sorry about the confusion.
