+ *              by ACPI.
+ *
+ *              acpi_gbl_integer_byte_width should be set to the proper width.
  *              For the core ACPICA code, this width depends on the DSDT
- *              version. For iASL, the default byte width is always 8.
+ *              version. For iASL, the default byte width is always 8 for the
+ *              parser, but error checking is performed later to flag cases
+ *              where a 64-bit constant is defined in a 32-bit DSDT/SSDT.
  *
  *              Does not support Octal strings, not needed at this time.
  *
- *              There is an earlier version of the function after this one,
- *              below. It is slightly different than this one, and the two
