+Extensions
+----------
+
+The SPIR-V backend supports a variety of extensions that enable or enhance features beyond the core SPIR-V specification. These extensions can be enabled using the ``-spirv-extensions`` option followed by the name of the extension(s) you wish to enable. Below is a list of supported SPIR-V extensions, sorted alphabetically by their extension names:
+
+.. list-table:: Supported SPIR-V Extensions
+   :widths: 50 150
+   :header-rows: 1
+
+   * - Extension Name
+     - Description
+   * - ``SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float16_add``
+     - Extends the SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float_add extension to support atomically adding to 16-bit floating-point numbers in memory.
+   * - ``SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float_add``
+     - Adds atomic add instruction on floating-point numbers.
+   * - ``SPV_EXT_shader_atomic_float_min_max``
+     - Adds atomic min and max instruction on floating-point numbers.
+   * - ``SPV_INTEL_arbitrary_precision_integers``
+     - Allows generating arbitrary width integer types.
+   * - ``SPV_INTEL_bfloat16_conversion``
+     - Adds instructions to convert between single-precision 32-bit floating-point values and 16-bit bfloat16 values.
+   * - ``SPV_INTEL_function_pointers``
+     - Allows translation of function pointers.
+   * - ``SPV_INTEL_optnone``
+     - Adds OptNoneINTEL value for Function Control mask that indicates a request to not optimize the function.
+   * - ``SPV_INTEL_subgroups``
+     - Allows work items in a subgroup to share data without the use of local memory and work group barriers, and to utilize specialized hardware to load and store blocks of data from images or buffers.
+   * - ``SPV_INTEL_usm_storage_classes``
+     - Introduces two new storage classes that are subclasses of the CrossWorkgroup storage class that provides additional information that can enable optimization.
+   * - ``SPV_INTEL_variable_length_array``
+     - Allows to allocate local arrays whose number of elements is unknown at compile time.
+   * - ``SPV_KHR_bit_instructions``
+     - Enables bit instructions to be used by SPIR-V modules without requiring the Shader capability.
+   * - ``SPV_KHR_expect_assume``
+     - Provides additional information to a compiler, similar to the llvm.assume and llvm.expect intrinsics.
+   * - ``SPV_KHR_float_controls``
+     - Provides new execution modes to control floating-point computations by overriding an implementation’s default behavior for rounding modes, denormals, signed zero, and infinities.
+   * - ``SPV_KHR_linkonce_odr``
+     - Allows to use the LinkOnceODR linkage type that lets a function or global variable to be merged with other functions or global variables of the same name when linkage occurs.
+   * - ``SPV_KHR_no_integer_wrap_decoration``
+     - Adds decorations to indicate that a given instruction does not cause integer wrapping.
+   * - ``SPV_KHR_subgroup_rotate``
+     - Adds a new instruction that enables rotating values across invocations within a subgroup.
+   * - ``SPV_KHR_uniform_group_instructions``
+     - Allows support for additional group operations within uniform control flow.
+
+To enable multiple extensions, list them separated by spaces. For example, to enable support for atomic operations on floating-point numbers and arbitrary precision integers, use:

Might need to be modified once the other PR gets merged. Just FYI.
