Since Nischala has posted her more comprehensive patch,
this patch can be dropped. But see one comment below for
future reference.

This isn't the right style for multi-line patches. Correct would be:

/*
* Mask out vTOM bit.
* MEMREMAP_WB full write back cache
* MEMREMAP_DEC maps decrypted memory
*/

Section 8 of coding-style.rst under Documentation/process covers
these details. Note that the style is slightly different for code
under net and drivers/net.
