+ * modpost check for section mismatches during the kernel build.
  * A section mismatch happens when there are references from a
  * code or data section to an init section (both code or data).
  * The init sections are (for most archs) discarded by the kernel
  * when early init has completed so all such references are potential bugs.
  * For exit sections the same issue exists.
+ *
  * The following markers are used for the cases where the reference to
  * the *init / *exit section (code or data) is valid and will teach
- * modpost not to issue a warning.
- * The markers follow same syntax rules as __init / __initdata. */
+ * modpost not to issue a warning.  Intended semantics is that a code or
+ * data tagged __ref* can reference code or data from init section without
+ * producing a warning (of course, no warning does not mean code is
+ * correct, so optimally document why the __ref is needed and why it's OK).
+ *
+ * The markers follow same syntax rules as __init / __initdata.
