It seems a bit weird to have target specific descriptions.  AFAIK, the behavior is the same on all the targets: it generates branches which have full addressability (ARC, ARM, BlackFin, Epiphany, MIPS, PPC all support this option, probably amongst other architectures).  This would easily grow unwieldily if we try to have target specific descriptions.  We support at least ARM, MIPS, PPC, and now Hexagon.  Why not make the description generic, something like:

    Generate branches with extended addressability, usually via indirect jumps.
