The QEMU CODING_STYLE [*] recommend a 80 chars per line limit:

Line width
==========

Lines should be 80 characters; try not to make them longer.

Sometimes it is hard to do, especially when dealing with QEMU subsystems
that use long function or symbol names.  Even in that case, do not make
lines much longer than 80 characters.

Rationale:

* Some people like to tile their 24" screens with a 6x4 matrix of 80x24
  xterms and use vi in all of them.  The best way to punish them is to
  let them keep doing it.
* Code and especially patches is much more readable if limited to a sane
  line length.  Eighty is traditional.
* The four-space indentation makes the most common excuse ("But look
  at all that white space on the left!") moot.
* It is the QEMU coding style.

Can you repost using correct lenght comments?
