Hi Paul,

Sorry for slow response, but please find inline comments below.

I'd like to see the reason _why_ they can be forgiven. Also, updating
the header comment of judgelitimus.sh to mention these expansions would
be of much help.

My guess is any data-race would moot the Always/Sometimes/Never
prediction.

This reminds me that update of LKMM documentation regarding plain
accesses (data races) is yet to come.

        Thanks, Akira
