/*
* Sync back kernel address range again. We already did this in
* setup_arch(), but percpu data also needs to be available in
- * the smpboot asm. We can't reliably pick up percpu mappings
- * using vmalloc_fault(), because exception dispatch needs
- * percpu data.
+ * the smpboot asm and arch_sync_kernel_mappings() doesn't sync to
+ * swapper_pg_dir on 32-bit. The per-cpu mappings need to be available
+ * there too.
*
* FIXME: Can the later sync in setup_cpu_entry_areas() replace
* this call?
