This sentence I provided was intended to just replace two sentences, not the
entire paragraph you had. Note that I explicitly stated "change last two
sentences". Without the original text the above "These" is not clear.
If you just want to copy&paste here is the entire intended comment:

	RESCTRL_RESERVED_CLOSID and RESCTRL_RESERVED_RMID are special and
	are always allocated. These are used for the rdtgroup_default
	control group, which will be setup later in rdtgroup_init().
