Subject: [PATCH 3.2 030/164] x86/iommu: Fix header comments regarding
 standard and _FINISH macros

3.2.70-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan <Aravind.Gopalakrishnan@....com>

commit b44915927ca88084a7292e4ddd4cf91036f365e1 upstream.

The comment line regarding IOMMU_INIT and IOMMU_INIT_FINISH
macros is incorrect:

  "The standard vs the _FINISH differs in that the _FINISH variant
  will continue detecting other IOMMUs in the call list..."

It should be "..the *standard* variant will continue
detecting..."

Fix that. Also, make it readable while at it.
