- * i386 calling convention returns 64-bit value in edx:eax, while
- * x86_64 returns at rax. Also, the "A" constraint does not really

+ * both i386 and x86_64 returns 64-bit value in edx:eax, but gcc's "A"
+ * constraint has different meanings. For i386, "A" means exactly
+ * edx:eax, while for x86_64 it doesn't mean rdx:rax or edx:eax. Instead,
+ * it means rax *or* rdx.
