-For PowerPC, @option{booke} controls the disassembly of BookE
-instructions. @option{32} and @option{64} select PowerPC and
-PowerPC64 disassembly, respectively. @option{e300} selects
-disassembly for the e300 family. @option{440} selects disassembly for
-the PowerPC 440. @option{ppcps} selects disassembly for the paired
-single instructions of the PPC750CL.
+For PowerPC, the @option{-M} argument @option{raw} selects
+disasssembly of hardware insns rather than aliases. For example, you
+will see @code{rlwinm} rather than @code{clrlwi}, and @code{addi}
+rather than @code{li}. All of the @option{-m} arguments for
+@command{gas} that select a CPU are supported. These are:
+@option{403}, @option{405}, @option{440}, @option{464}, @option{476},
+@option{601}, @option{603}, @option{604}, @option{620}, @option{7400},
+@option{7410}, @option{7450}, @option{7455}, @option{750cl},

+@option{pwr6}, @option{pwr7}, @option{pwr8}, @option{pwr9},
+@option{pwrx}, @option{titan}, and @option{vle}.
+@option{32} and @option{64} modify the default or a prior CPU
+selection, disabling and enabling 64-bit insns respectively. In
+addition, @option{altivec}, @option{any}, @option{htm}, @option{vsx},
+and @option{spe} add capabilities to a previous @emph{or later} CPU
+selection. @option{any} will disassemble any opcode known to
+binutils, but in cases where an opcode has two different meanings or
+different arguments, you may not see the disassembly you expect.
+If you disassemble without giving a CPU selection, a default will be
+chosen from information gleaned by BFD from the object files headers,
+but the result again may not be as you expect.
For MIPS, this option controls the printing of instruction mnemonic
names and register names in disassembled instructions. Multiple
