- * PVR masks/values from arch/powerpc/kernel/cputable.c (Linux kernel)
+ * PVR masks/values from Linux kernel:
+ * - arch/powerpc/kernel/cputable.c            (kernel <= 6.0)
+ * - arch/powerpc/kernel/cpu_specs_book3s_64.h (kernel >= 6.1)
+ *
+ * In the kernel, there is a POWER8E identifier. In
+ * https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/POWER8E it says it is
+ * actually DD2.1, while other POWER8 should be DD2.0.
+ * The last assumption does not seem to be correct according
+ * to https://openbenchmarking.org/s/POWER8NVL, which shows a
+ * POWER8NVL where kernel says it is DD1.0. We implement this
+ * to show only the uarch, not the revision, since it seems a bit
+ * redundant?
+ *
  * This list may be incorrect, incomplete or overly simplified,
  * specially in the case of 32 bit entries
