Please don't make Linux-specific comments in Xen code for interfaces
that are supposed to be OS-agnostic.
You are right. I just wanted to describe where these magic numbers come
from.
Someone might question why, for example, "0 ... max_gpaddr" can't be
used. I will move
that Linux-specific comments to the commit message to keep some
justification of these numbers.
Please keep some rationale in the code. This is a lot easier to
understand the code without having to play the git blame game.
