 /* We could set load-reservations on physical or virtual addresses.
- * For now we set them on virtual addresses, since it makes the
- * sequential model of SC a bit simpler, at the cost of an explicit
- * call to load_reservation in LR and cancel_reservation in SC.
+ * However most chips (especially multi-core) will use physical addresses.
+ * Additionally, matching on physical addresses allows as many SC's to
+ * succeed as the spec allows. This simplifies verification against real chips
+ * since you can force spurious failures from a DUT into the Sail model and
+ * then compare the result (a kind of one-way waiver). Using virtual addresses
+ * requires cancelling the reservation in some additional places, e.g. xRET, and
+ * that will break comparison with a DUT that doesn't require cancellation there.
