Subject: [PATCH 11/11] staging: gasket: Update device virtual address comment

From: Nick Ewalt <nicholasewalt@...gle.com>

Add that number of page table entries and extended address bit offset
are configurable. Update example virtual address format to be more
consistent with typical usage.

- * Address format is as follows:
+ * There is a configurable number of page table entries, as well as a
+ * configurable bit index for the extended address flag. Both of these are
+ * specified in gasket_page_table_init through the page_table_config parameter.
+ *
+ * The following example assumes:
+ *   page_table_config->total_entries = 8192
+ *   page_table_config->extended_bit = 63
+ *
+ * Address format:
  * Simple addresses - those whose containing pages are directly placed in the
  * device's address translation registers - are laid out as:
- * [ 63 - 40: Unused | 39 - 28: 0 | 27 - 12: page index | 11 - 0: page offset ]
+ * [ 63 - 25: 0 | 24 - 12: page index | 11 - 0: page offset ]
  * page index:  The index of the containing page in the device's address
  *              translation registers.
  * page offset: The index of the address into the containing page.
