Subject: [Patch 1/3] sgi-xp: eliminate '>>>' in comments

Comments in /drivers/misc/sgi-xp has been using '>>>' as a means to draw
attention to something that needs to be done or considered. To avoid colliding
with git rejects, '>>>' will now be replaced by '!!!' to indicate something to
do, and by '???' to indicate something to be considered.

Andrew, I hope that '!!!' and '???' aren't a bad choice to replace '>>>' by.

Thanks for the feedback.
