To simplify the style, replace "Following is" and "Following are"
by "here is" and "here are", sounding more natural.
In some cases, also go further by simplifying "Here are/is xxx"
by "xxx are/is" when the "are" or "is" are not two far at
the end of the sentence.
In some cases too, completely remove the sentence, when
it's redundant with the preceding title.

COMPATIBLE_MACHINE is used to forbid the use of a recipe or its packages
for a specific set of machines.
In some cases, it may make more sense to have the logic inverted and
have the recipe always forbidden except for hand-picked machines. Such
could be the case for pieces of software that only support some
architectures. In that scenario, it is sometimes a bit easier on the eye
and for maintenance to use the OVERRIDES mechanism but for that, a
default should be set.
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE:aarch64 = "^(aarch64)$"
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE:mips64 = "^(mips64)$"
wouldn't do much because if COMPATIBLE_MACHINE isn't set, the recipe is
assumed compatible and therefore, if no default is provided we enter
that case.
Hence, we need to add
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "^$"
as default so that it only matches the empty string, which isn't
possible for MACHINEOVERRIDES.
