[PATCH] [3/8] CPA: Fix some incorrect comments in the debug pagealloc code
From: Andi Kleen
Date: Mon Feb 11 2008 - 04:51:21 EST
Even with the pool cpa in debug_pagealloc can fail (e.g. consider memory hotplug)
Also the code does not clear PSE anymore as the comment claims.
Replace wrong comment with correct one.
