There is no reason to break the 80 col line limit here. Here is Linus'
motivation
if that makes more sense than mine: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/3/394

And sometimes we break it by mistake, but that is a different thing.

This is not a constructive comment. It just repeats the DRM documentation. This
might look harmless but it is actually a bad thing. For every comment we add to
the driver, we add one more place that we must remember to update when we change
our code. If you look at the driver, you'll see plenty of places where comments
never got removed, even though the code it talks about is long gone.

And most of the time, the code speaks for itself.

Single line comments should be just /* ... comment ... */
See Documentation/CodingStyle Chapter 8.

This also just repeats the DRM documentation. No need for it.

This is just stating the obvious. The code speaks for itself.

Why _add_ a comment that it is deprecated when it never existed?

This can also go.

This comment is actually useful. It tells us that the MMU bits defined below
are for the SGX MMU page table entries and not the Intel GTT PTEs.
Though it could be combined with the comment below since they talk about
the same thing.
