-	 * SYSCALL clears RF when it saves RFLAGS in R11 and SYSRET cannot
-	 * restore RF properly. If the slowpath sets it for whatever reason, we
-	 * need to restore it correctly.
-	 *
-	 * SYSRET can restore TF, but unlike IRET, restoring TF results in a
-	 * trap from userspace immediately after SYSRET.  This would cause an
-	 * infinite loop whenever #DB happens with register state that satisfies
-	 * the opportunistic SYSRET conditions.  For example, single-stepping
-	 * this user code:
-	 *
-	 *           movq	$stuck_here, %rcx
-	 *           pushfq
-	 *           popq %r11
-	 *   stuck_here:
-	 *
-	 * would never get past 'stuck_here'.
+	 * SYSRET cannot restore RF.  It can restore TF, but unlike IRET,
+	 * restoring TF results in a trap from userspace immediately after
+	 * SYSRET.
