It's okay, but I'd prefer to convert the two subsections--the old ARM
one and the new one you wrote--into @node's, and add a menu in their
parent. With two targets (and more to come, I presume), it is no
longer a good idea to hide those subsections from the menu traversing
commands of an Info reader.

Isn't it better to use an @itemize list here? How about the following
rewording:
@node M68K Features
@subsection M68K Features
@cindex target descriptions, M68K features
An M68K target can have either one of the following features:
@itemize @bullet{}
@item
@samp{org.gnu.gdb.m68k.core}
@itemx
@samp{org.gnu.gdb.coldfire.core}
@itemx
@samp{org.gnu.gdb.fido.core}
The feature that is present determines which flavor of m86k is
used. The feature that is present should contain registers
@samp{d0} through @samp{d7}, @samp{a0} through @samp{a5}, @samp{fp},
@samp{sp}, @samp{ps} and @samp{pc}.
@item
@samp{org.gnu.gdb.coldfire.fp}
This feature is optional. If present, it should contain registers
@samp{fp0} through @samp{fp7}, @samp{fpcontrol}, @samp{fpstatus} and
@samp{fpiaddr}.
@end itemize
Finally, please use the US English variant of spelling: "flavor", not
"flavour".
