- * This is the userdlmfs locking protocol version.
+ * These are the ABI capabilities of dlmfs.
+ *
+ * Over time, dlmfs has added some features that were not part of the
+ * initial ABI.  Unfortunately, some of these features are not detectable
+ * via standard usage.  For example, Linux's default poll always returns
+ * POLLIN, so there is no way for a caller of poll(2) to know when dlmfs
+ * added poll support.  Instead, we provide this list of new capabilities.
+ *
+ * Capabilities is a read-only attribute.  We do it as a module parameter
+ * so we can discover it whether dlmfs is built in, loaded, or even not
+ * loaded.
  *
- * See fs/ocfs2/dlmglue.c for more details on locking versions.
+ * The ABI features are local to this machine's dlmfs mount.  This is
+ * distinct from the locking protocol, which is concerned with inter-node
+ * interaction.
+ *
+ * Capabilities:
+ * - bast       : POLLIN against the file descriptor of a held lock
+ *                signifies a bast fired on the lock.
