Does it make a sense to mention support of micromips / nomicromips attributes (D33363, D33364)?

LGTM otherwise.

-------------------------- --------------------------
During this release ... * The microMIPS64R6 backend is deprecated and will be removed in the next
release.
* The MIPS backend now directly supports vector types for arguments and return
values (previously this required ABI specific LLVM IR).
* Added documentation for how the MIPS backend handles address lowering.
* Added a GCC compatible option to control the generation of four operand
multiply add/subtraction instructions.
* Added basic support for the XRay instrumentation system.
* Added support for more assembly aliases and macros macros.

Thanks, will fix on commit.

sdardis: Thanks, will fix on commit.
* Added the ``long-calls`` feature for non-pic environments. This feature is
used where the callee is out of range of the caller using a standard call
sequence. It must be enabled specifically.
* Added support for performing microMIPS code generation via function
attributes.
* Added experimental support for the static relocation model for the N64 ABI.
* Added partial support for the MT ASE.
* Added basic support for code size reduction for microMIPS.
* Fixed numerous bugs including: multi-precision arithmetic support, various
vectorization bugs, debug information for thread local variables, debug
sections lacking the correct flags, crashing when disassembling sections
whose size is not a multiple of two or four.
