  if we have to stick to "pimreg%u" (or will hurt the functional features)
  suggest to let user mode know this limitation. 
    define a macro in public header (user mode can know it) and give comments.
    use macro instead of number.
    remove the comments which is inside internal function.

  thanks.

gchen.
