This would be the right page, I suppose:

https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/ARM-Features.html#ARM-Features

I don't think so.

I wish that the generated and non-generated ones were separated (perhaps
put the generated ones in a "generated" directory), so it's easier to
remove them, to force-regenerate them.  And maybe "make clean" in
features/ could remove them too.  But that's not a prerequisite for what
you want to do.
