s/This prevents/Prevent/

Avoid having "This patch" or "This commit" or "This does <bla>" in the commit
message. It is tautologically useless.

"Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour."

Ok, this does "something". Why does it do it?

Otherwise it won't build on other architectures or is it going to cause code
bloat or why are we doing this?
