    Subject[PATCH] initrd: Remove erroneous comment
    Date
    Most architectures have been passing the location of an initrd via the
    initrd= option since their inception. Remove the comment as it's both
    wrong and unrelated to the commit that introduced it.

    Fixes: 694cfd87b0c8 ("x86/setup: Add an initrdmem= option to specify initrd physical address")

    For a bit more context, I assume there's been some confusion between
    "initrd" being a keyword in things like extlinux.conf and also that for
    quite a long time now initrd information is passed via device tree and
    not the command line on relevant architectures. But it's still true
    that it's been a valid command line option to the kernel since the 90s.
    It's just the case that in 2018 the code was consolidated from under
    arch/ and in to this file.
