Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 5/5] igb: Add comment
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:39:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100701233921.16171.58140.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100701233733.16171.4629.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

From: Greg Rose <gregory.v.rose@intel.com>

Add explanatory comment to avoid confusion when a pointer is set
to the second word of an array instead of the customary cast of a
pointer to the beginning of the array.
