Why not leave everything unchanged comment wise and just add the
snp_cleanup_rmpopt() before the comment with a simple comment above the
call to snp_cleanup_rmpopt(), e.g.:

/* Disable RMPOPT while CPU hotplug is disabled */
snp_cleanup_rmpopt();

/*
* Original comment block
*/
cpu_hotplug_enable();

Thanks,
Tom
