It was pointed out in the review that this ended up in the wrong place!
Moving it.  Note this is a modification of the 21.x release notes, so
doesn't have a corresponding trunk change.

 OpenACC Specific Changes
 ------------------------
 
+- OpenACC support, enabled via `-fopenacc` has reached a level of completeness
+  to finally be at least notionally usable. Currently, the OpenACC 3.4
+  specification has been completely implemented for Sema and AST creation, so
+  nodes will show up in the AST after having been properly checked. Lowering is
+  currently a work in progress, with compute, loop, and combined constructs
+  partially implemented, plus a handful of data and executable constructs
+  implemented. Lowering will only work in Clang-IR mode (so only with a compiler
+  built with Clang-IR enabled, and with `-fclangir` used on the command line).
+  However, note that the Clang-IR implementation status is also quite partial,
+  so frequent 'not yet implemented' diagnostics should be expected.  Also, the
+  ACC MLIR dialect does not currently implement any lowering to LLVM-IR, so no
+  code generation is possible for OpenACC.

   as an extension in all C++ language modes.
