How's this comment?

        /*
         * Resume remote flushes and then read tlb_gen.  We need to do
         * it in this order: any inc_mm_tlb_gen() caller that writes a
         * larger tlb_gen than we read here must see our cpu set in
         * mm_cpumask() so that it will know to flush us.  The barrier
