Yeah, I can agree with that.  Can you add it in a comment above the cmpxchg
loop, it can be as simple as

	/* The processor can set ON concurrently.  */

when you respin patch 21 and the rest of the series?

I can definitely add a comment, but I think that comment is incorrect.

It's completely backwards indeed. I first had "the hardware" and then shut down my brain for a second to replace it.

So something like this?

	/* ON can be set concurrently by a different vCPU or by hardware. */

Yes, of course.
