nds32 and riscv seem to be missing from the table. I'd also suggest
sticking to the three entries documented in

  Documentation/features/arch-support.txt
  
and using the header comment to provide any additional information.

A script that refreshes the arch support status file in place (from
the Kconfig files) is currently available in linux-next: c.f.,

  Documentation/features/scripts/features-refresh.sh
