Any C++ comments in non-C99 code is ugly.. Or whatever C standard the
kernel claims to use these days.

My regex is a bit too rusty right now to handle searching for multi-line
examples, do you know of anyone else converting the whole block to C++
style?

Things will look a lot uglier if we do this inconsistently, if it is now
the law of the land we do this for the first line, then we should have
it be the only exception. Everywhere else remaining old style comments,
IMHO.
