For 4.17(?) Seeing if I can sneak it in as just a documentation change,
seeing as there are others outstanding. If not, it can go into 4.18 and get
backported.

Release-acking this seeing scissors line comment from the original
patch "If not, it can go into 4.18 and get backported.". Hopefully
this release-ack will offload some maintenance/backport effort for
x86 maintainers.
