Yeah, it does. I wouldn't want to lose that explanation in a commit
message.
However, this special aspect pertains to the shstk implementation in x86
but the code is generic mm and such arch-specific comments are kinda
unfitting there.
I wonder if it would be better if you could stick that explanation
somewhere in arch/x86/ and only refer to it in a short comment above
VM_SHADOW_STACK check in stack_guard_start_gap()...
Thx.
