For multiple lines, wings are a Good Thing (TM). Otherwise it looks
sloppy.

/* Service input, then unset the BREAK to
* release the Waker. */

extra asterisk! ok then

/* Service input, then unset the BREAK to
release the Waker. */

Yuck, that "release" looks like it can be code, especially with parsers
that look for comments that start with some sort of /* or *

Those little wings do IMHO make the code look nicer. I know in the Linux
community, my weight compared to you is a chihuahua compared to a
St. Bernard. But in this case, I believe others think that my collar is
prettier than yours. ;-)

Some one buy Rusty a bigger hard-drive to store those extra lines.
