I just changed the code by hand, and opted not to paste the comment in.

It is plausible that I built that kernel and forgot to reboot into it,
but I'm 99.9% sure that that wasn't the case.

Unfortunatly I can't check immediately, as that machine for reasons
unknown no longer wants to get past the BIOS POST check.

I'll see if I can reproduce it on a different test box until I get
that one back up.
