  * - bits 0-7 are the preemption count (max preemption depth: 256)

  *
- * The hardirq count can in theory reach the same as NR_IRQS.
- * In reality, the number of nested IRQS is limited to the stack
- * size as well. For archs with over 1000 IRQS it is not practical
- * to expect that they will all nest. We give a max of 10 bits for
- * hardirq nesting. An arch may choose to give less than 10 bits.
- * m68k expects it to be 8.
+ * The hardirq count could in theory be the same as the number of
+ * interrupts in the system, but we run all interrupt handlers with
+ * interrupts disabled, so we cannot have nesting interrupts. Though
+ * there are a few palaeontologic drivers which reenable interrupts in
+ * the handler, so we need more than one bit here.
