Markup: a hard line break between the first and second links.

Manual page: link to the specified section (7).

Use 'either …, or …' within the second of four list items.

I used this phrasing because for all but two functions, it's likely going to be a baseline implementation and x86-64-v2 is a bit of a special case. But if this wording feels awkward to a native speaker, sure, change it.

I don't think we need a sektion=7 query parameter in the URL as there is no simd man page in any other section, but I guess it won't hurt.

LGTM.

@clausecker thanks.

Subtly: if sektion=7 is omitted, then the title of the linked page will be simd, which is relatively vague for title bar, tab, bookmarking and other purposes.

An 'or alternatively' always catches my eye. Whilst grammatically correct, it's sometimes a trigger to look at surrounding texts.
