+ *
+ * The LOCK_PREFIX macro defined here replaces the LOCK and
+ * LOCK_PREFIX macros used everywhere in the source tree.
+ *
+ * SMP alternatives use the same data structures as the other
+ * alternatives and the X86_FEATURE_UP flag to indicate the case of a
+ * UP system running a SMP kernel. The existing apply_alternatives()
+ * works fine for patching a SMP kernel for UP.
+ *
+ * The SMP alternative tables can be kept after boot and contain both
+ * UP and SMP versions of the instructions to allow switching back to
+ * SMP at runtime, when hotplugging in a new CPU, which is especially
+ * useful in virtualized environments.
+ *
+ * The very common lock prefix is handled as special case in a
+ * separate table which is a pure address list without replacement ptr
+ * and size information. That keeps the table sizes small.
