The patched code doesn't handle GQ at all.  Is this on purpose?  Add a
similar comment to the CPU feature tables perhaps?

Yeah, those bits are bust on POWER4+.  We didn't touch them previously
and we still don't with this patch.

You're right, we should keep that comment. I'll update and retransmit.
