Could you clarify the required action here? Do you expect me to replace
"This flag however has two logical meanings" with "This flag however has
two logical side-effects"? The suggested word doesn't seem to apply nicely
to this case. In my text, I have the following two sentences: "Don't
attempt to load the enclave page" and "Don't attempt to remove the PCMD
page ...". I don't think it's proper English to say that "Don't attempt
..." is a side effect. Or do you want me to also modify the two sentences
in the list?

By the way, this text is a rephrasing of Dave Hansen's comment:

Could you clarify the required action here? What would be a better
rephrasing? Aren't we supposed to clarify the rationale behind the code
changes in the commit message?
