         * wasting some space this way, but it's much nicer than looping around
         * trying to reserve each and every page size.
         *
-        * However, since size calculation will produce page-aligned sizes, it
-        * makes sense to first try and see if we can reserve the entire memzone
-        * in one contiguous chunk as well (otherwise we might end up wasting a
-        * 1G page on a 10MB memzone). If we fail to get enough contiguous
-        * memory, then we'll go and reserve space page-by-page.
+        * If we fail to get enough contiguous memory, then we'll go and
+        * reserve space in smaller chunks.
         *
         * We also have to take into account the fact that memory that we're
         * going to allocate from can belong to an externally allocated memory
