/*
* Light weight per cpu counter implementation.
*
- * Counters should only be incremented and no critical kernel component
- * should rely on the counter values.
+ * Counters should only be incremented. You need to set EMBEDDED
+ * to disable VM_EVENT_COUNTERS. Things like procps (vmstat,
+ * top, etc) use /proc/vmstat and depend on these counters.
*
* Counters are handled completely inline. On many platforms the code
* generated will simply be the increment of a global address.
