When I get back from webdev-hell (another week or so) one of the first
things I plan to do is get rid of the C++ comments.

To Adrian:

They are NOT accepted in the kernel.  Period.  If you still feel unsure,
post an innocent question about them to the linux-kernel mailing list, and
see how many negative replies you get.

Even if you got a couple of positive responses (which you won't), we won't
accept them in practice in this tree or in the LinuxSH tree.  Not trying to
be rude or anything, but standards have nothing to do with it.  Please, in
the future, do not use them.

Thanks,
