Please don't make Linux-specific comments in Xen code for interfaces
that are supposed to be OS-agnostic.

You are right. I just wanted to describe where these magic numbers come from. Someone might question why, for example, "0 ... max_gpaddr" can't be used. I will move that Linux-specific comments to the commit message to keep some justification of these numbers.

Please keep some rationale in the code. This is a lot easier to understand the code without having to play the git blame game.

Cheers,
