  *		The register is modified, but all changes are undone
  *		before returning because the C code doesn't know about it.
  *
  * Outputs:	%rax is error code (0 or -EFAULT)
  *		%rdx contains zero-extended value
  * 
- * %r8 is destroyed.
  *
  * These functions should not modify any other registers,
  * as they get called from within inline assembly.
