[petsc-dev] Should we add something about GPU support to the user manual?

Fellow PETSc developers,

I've had a few people recently ask me something along the lines of "Where do I look in the user manual for information about how to use GPUs with PETSc?", and then I have to give them the slightly embarrassing answer that there is nothing in there. Since we officially added GPU support a few releases ago, it might be appropriate to put something in the manual (even though our GPU support is still a moving target). I think I can draft something based on the existing tutorial material that Karl and I have been presenting. Do others think this would be worthwhile, or is our GPU support still too immature to belong in the manual? And are there any thoughts on where this belongs in the manual?
