  * So we have to copy eflags from the stack to lguest_data.irq_enabled before

- * There are two problems with this: firstly, we need to use a register to do

- * problem is easy to solve: push %eax on the stack so we can use it, and then

+ * There are two problems with this: firstly, we can't clobber any registers
+ * and secondly, the whole thing needs to be atomic.  The first problem
+ * is solved by using "push memory"/"pop memory" instruction pair for copying.
  *
  * The second is harder: copying eflags to lguest_data.irq_enabled will turn
  * interrupts on before we're finished, so we could be interrupted before we
  * return to userspace or wherever.  Our solution to this is to surround the
  * code with lguest_noirq_start: and lguest_noirq_end: labels.  We tell the
  * Host that it is *never* to interrupt us there, even if interrupts seem to be
- * enabled.
