 	 * We must write a positive value to the decrementer to clear
-	 * the interrupt on the IBM 970 CPU series.  In periodic mode,
-	 * this happens when the decrementer gets reloaded later, but
-	 * in one-shot mode, we have to do it here since an event handler
-	 * may skip loading the new value...
+	 * the interrupt on POWER4+ compatible CPUs.
No, it is *not* only on POWER4+ compatible CPUs.  Sigh.
