- * WARNING - magic here
- *
- * Ok, this is a horrid hack below, but marginally better than the
- * alternatives.  What we really want is just to initialize
- * hvReleaseData in C as in the #if 0 section here.  However, gcc
- * refuses to believe that (u32)&x is a constant expression, so will
- * not allow the xMsNucDataOffset field to be properly initialized.
- * So, we declare hvReleaseData in inline asm instead.  We use inline
- * asm, rather than a .S file, because the assembler won't generate
- * the necessary relocation for the LparMap either, unless that symbol
- * is declared in the same source file.  Finally, we put the asm in a
- * dummy, attribute-used function, instead of at file scope, because
- * file scope asms don't allow contraints.  We want to use the "i"
- * constraints to put sizeof() and offsetof() expressions in there,
- * because including asm/offsets.h in C code then stringifying causes
- * all manner of warnings.
