  * Notes:
- *   - Kernel space indices are always masked off to q->index_mask

- *   - User space indices may be out of range and must be
- *   masked before use when read.
- *   - The kernel indices for shared queues must not be written
- *   by user space so a local copy is used and a shared copy is
- *   stored when the local copy changes.
+ *   - The driver indices are always masked off to q->index_mask
+ *     before storing so do not need to be checked on reads.
+ *   - The user whether user space or kernel is generally
+ *     not trusted so its parameters are masked to make sure
+ *     they do not access the queue out of bounds on reads.
+ *   - The driver indices for queues must not be written
+ *     by user so a local copy is used and a shared copy is
+ *     stored when the local copy is changed.
  *   - By passing the type in the parameter list separate from q
- *   the compiler can eliminate the switch statement when the
- *   actual queue type is known when the function is called.
- *   In the performance path this is done. In less critical
- *   paths just q->type is passed.
+ *     the compiler can eliminate the switch statement when the
+ *     actual queue type is known when the function is called at
+ *     compile time.
+ *   - These queues are lock free. The user and driver must protect
+ *     changes to their end of the queues with locks if more than one
+ *     CPU can be accessing it at the same time.
