[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 1/2] x86: fix comment on super page alignment requirement



BOOTSTRAP_DIRECTMAP_END is gone. The comment in question should refer
to BOOSTRAP_MAP_BASE and 4GB instead.

Move the entire comment block to where it belongs -- immediately
before the loop which does the things said in the comment.

Remove two trailing spaces while at it.
