Hi all,

This patch brings the new CPU support announcements in line with the format used in the GCC 6 notes.
That is, rather than have a separate "The <processor> is now supported via the..." entry for each new core
just list them and give a use example with the -mcpu,-mtune options.

Ok to commit?

Thanks,
Kyrill

Looks good to me, for what it is worth.

Thanks,
