- * Early handler to deal with spurious page faults. For example, consider a 
- * routine that uses a mapping immediately after installing it (making it 
- * present). The CPU may speculatively execute the memory access before 
- * executing the PTE write. The instruction will then be marked to cause a 
- * page fault when it is retired, despite the fact that the PTE is present and 
- * correct at that point in time.
+ * Early #PF handler to print CR2, error code, and stack.
+ * 
+ * We also deal with spurious faults here, even though they should never happen
+ * during early boot (an issue was seen once, but was most likely a hardware 
+ * problem).
