I've expected it to be plain english, something like following:
/*
* Return the physical address (or virtual address in case of
* virtio-user) of mbuf data buffer.
*
* The address is firstly casted to the word size (sizeof(uintptr_t))
* before casting it to uint64_t. This is to make it work with different
* combination of word size (64 bit and 32 bit) and virtio device
* (virtio-pci and virtio-user).
*/
Okay to you?
