The longevity of this comment would be greater if it were phrased as "is
only valid on x86", especially given the RFC RISCV series on list.

How do we know how intremap is going to work on future ports?

We don't know. But, for a reviewer, it is going to be much easier to notice a command line option is going to be used as the patch would modify a caller.

So I agree with Andrew that we want to say "only valid on x86".
