  * There can be combinations, e.g., EXC_VIRT_OOL_MASKABLE_HV
  *
- * The one unusual case is __EXC_REAL_OOL_HV_DIRECT, which is
- * an OOL vector that branches to a specified handler rather than the usual
- * trampoline that goes to common. It, and other underscore macros, should
- * be used with care.

  * KVM handlers come in the following verieties:
  * TRAMP_KVM
  * TRAMP_KVM_SKIP
