To avoid the impression that I did not work on that, here is the v2
from November,
that attempts to document this:
  https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-November/607326.html

My proposed text was:
+Note, that AIA support (@samp{Smaia} and @samp{Ssaia}) is based on an AIA
+specification, which is frozen but contains draft chapters ("Duo-PLIC" and
+"IOMMU Support").

Btw, I did not get any feedback on that patch.

I also tried to address this on spec level (the PR has been linked) and raised
that to tech-aia (the conversation has been linked).

Another thing that I want to highlight, since it was discussed a lot recently
(e.g. just a few minutes ago in tech-chairs).
There is a chance of a last-minute spec change of AIA:
  https://github.com/riscv/riscv-aia/pull/37
