Don't think so, for instance, this one:

/* Short form of mov based on type, BPF_X: dst_reg = src_reg, BPF_K: dst_reg = imm32 */

[acme@zoo linux]$ git log -p include/linux/filter.h | grep 'Short form of mov based on type, BPF_X: dst_reg = src_reg, BPF_K: dst_reg = imm32'
/* Short form of mov based on type, BPF_X: dst_reg = src_reg, BPF_K: dst_reg = imm32 */
/* Short form of mov based on type, BPF_X: dst_reg = src_reg, BPF_K: dst_reg = imm32 */
/* Short form of mov based on type, BPF_X: dst_reg = src_reg, BPF_K: dst_reg = imm32 */
+/* Short form of mov based on type, BPF_X: dst_reg = src_reg, BPF_K: dst_reg = imm32 */
[acme@zoo linux]$

Was introduced, in just one line, and never again touched, just appearing as context in
subsequent patches.

I bet this was related to checkpatch.pl complaining it has more than 80 lines ;-\

Ditto for:

[acme@zoo linux]$ git log -p include/linux/filter.h | grep 'Endiann\?ess conversion'
/* Endianess conversion, cpu_to_{l,b}e(), {l,b}e_to_cpu() */
/* Endianess conversion, cpu_to_{l,b}e(), {l,b}e_to_cpu() */
+/* Endianess conversion, cpu_to_{l,b}e(), {l,b}e_to_cpu() */
[acme@zoo linux]$
