I already put this in the "GNU Distribution" node (chapter 6):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   The GNU distribution is currently available on the following
platforms:

[...]

‘armhf-linux’
     ARMv7-A architecture with hard float, Thumb-2 and VFP3D16
     coprocessor, using the EABI hard-float ABI, and Linux-Libre kernel.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do you think more is needed?
