- *              Expand all 32-bit addresses to 64-bit.
+ *              Expand 32-bit addresses to 64-bit as necessary.
  *
  * NOTE:        acpi_gbl_FADT must be of size (struct acpi_table_fadt),
  *              and must contain a copy of the actual FADT.
  *
- * ACPICA will use the "X" fields of the FADT for all addresses.
+ * Notes on 64-bit register addresses:
+ *
+ * After this FADT conversion, later ACPICA code will only use the 64-bit "X"
+ * fields of the FADT for all ACPI register addresses.
  *
- * "X" fields are optional extensions to the original V1.0 fields. Even if
- * they are present in the structure, they can be optionally not used by
- * setting them to zero. Therefore, we must selectively expand V1.0 fields
- * if the corresponding X field is zero.
+ * The 64-bit "X" fields are optional extensions to the original 32-bit FADT
+ * V1.0 fields. Even if they are present in the FADT, they are optional and
+ * are unused if the BIOS sets them to zero. Therefore, we must copy/expand
+ * 32-bit V1.0 fields if the corresponding X field is zero.
  *
- * For ACPI 1.0 FADTs, all address fields are expanded to the corresponding
- * "X" fields.
+ * For ACPI 1.0 FADTs, all 32-bit address fields are expanded to the
+ * corresponding "X" fields in the internal FADT.
  *
- * For ACPI 2.0 FADTs, any "X" fields that are NULL are filled in by
- * expanding the corresponding ACPI 1.0 field.
+ * For ACPI 2.0+ FADTs, all valid (non-zero) 32-bit address fields are expanded
+ * to the corresponding 64-bit X fields. For compatibility with other ACPI
+ * implementations, we ignore the 64-bit field if the 32-bit field is valid,
+ * regardless of whether the host OS is 32-bit or 64-bit.
