The âmodesâ here means the three option selectable by command line option. Off/warn/fatal. Some earlier versions of this patch had a sysfs interface to switch things around.

Not whether we have the MSR enabled/disabled.

If Thomas or Boris finds more things to fix then Iâll take a look at clarifying this comment too.
