Does including this in the comment have any merit in the first place?
We never access nr[0] or nr[1] etc. anywhere with magic numbers.  It's
a local function with one callsite, the passed array is declared and
accessed exclusively by what is defined in enum lru_list, where is the
point in repeating the enum items?.  I'd rather the next change to
this comment would be its removal.
