Ah, makes sense now. I was reading "if that happens" to mean the fault.

Yes, that's much clearer. Assuming you meant to replace the entire
comment. I also moved it to directly above the macro it's describing:


asmlinkage void __noreturn kvm_spurious_fault(void);

/*
* Usually after catching the fault we just panic; during reboot
* instead the instruction is ignored.
*/
#define ____kvm_handle_fault_on_reboot(insn, cleanup_insn) \
