Subject: [RFA] Document lm_addr_check.

Message-ID: <1309808956.4471.16.camel@hactar> (raw)
Hi,
A long time ago I had to understand lm_addr_check and as a result I
wrote the comment below. I just ran across this forgotten patch. Could
someone more familiar with the code confirm that the comment is correct?
