If it is not a hassle, you can add references both in code and at the
end of the commit log. Adding two more lines to the commit log should
not be difficult.
I think it is fine either way. Your choice.

If executing it in one LP prevents SEAMCALLs on all other LPs, I am
trying to understand why spec recommends running it in all LPs?
But the following explanation answers my query. I recommend making a
note about it in commit log or comments.

OK. I missed that part.
