Is it possible to lose the "(R)" part here?  It gets in the way of
Emacs syntax highlighting of ChangeLog entries.

There are a few English and Texinfo issues here, so I suggest the
following minor rewording (please make sure I didn't change the
meaning of what you intended to say):

  While calling functions of an MPX enabled program, boundary registers have
  to be initialized before performing the call, to avoid unexpected side
  effects, such as a bound violation exception, while performing the
  operation.  Nevertheless, is possible to change the boundary values, if
  desired, by placing a breakpoint at the end of the prologue and setting
  bound registers as wished in the commands of that breakpoint.
  After the call is performed, a bound register might or might not be keept for
  further investigations.  The behaviour of initializing bounds on returning
  from a program function calls can be controlled and displayed using the
  following commands:

  @table @code
  @kindex set mpx-bnd-init-on-return
  @item set mpx-bnd-init-on-return
  When set to 1, bound registers will be initialized when returning from a
  calling a program function.
  @kindex show mpx-bnd-init-on-return
  @item show mpx-bnd-init-on-return
  Show the state of @code{mpx-bnd-init-on-return}.
  @end table

Thanks.
