Fixup this comment as I directed in my feedback for the previous patches.
These just look like turds all over the tree that you are adding for every
single dev_set_promiscuity() call site and it adds nothing to readability
or understandability of the code.

Anyways, Stephen also wanted you to implement this a different way.
