I'm pretty sure this is not an accepted kernel comment style.
What's the problem? I think it's OK for this particular patch.

The comments are not even valid C. The only reason why they do not
break is that they are immediately followed by another,
correctly-formatted (but separate) comment.
Aah, amazing how I was able to miss that!

Akshay, I suppose you didn't compile-test the patches? Please don't
send patches like that on LKML. It's a huge waste of time for reviewers.
