Honestly, I don't think that anybody ever really used this in the past 15 years. It was likely used with the "prep" machine, but we removed that one a couple of years already. The only machine that is still using this class of PowerPC CPUs is its successor, the 40p machine, but it has a 604 by default anyway, and I've never seen anybody using "-cpu default" with that machine. So IMHO it's not necessary to document this - but if people here have a different feeling, then I can also respin the patch, just let me know.
