It makes more sense afterwards because then it can refer to the
functional change:
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] x86/tdx: Tidy reset_pamt functions
tdx_quirk_reset_paddr() has been made to reflect that, in fact, the
clearing is necessary only for hardware with a certain quirk. Refer
patch "x86/tdx: Skip clearing reclaimed pages unless X86_BUG_TDX_PW_MCE
is present" for details.
Rename reset_pamt functions to contain "quirk" to reflect the new
functionality, and remove the now misleading comment.
