I don't think there is a kernel coding style for internal definitions.
It's true that double-underscores mean "more raw" in many places, like
for things like set_bit() vs __set_bit(), but that's not really
applicable here. These files are not exported outside of the kernel
in any case so we don't need any special treatment for them to mark them
as "internal definitions".
The comment in any case certainly is silly. It dates back to Jan 2007
in our internal version control system. The tilepro hv headers in
question are largely frozen at this point in our internal "upstream"
repository where we take these headers from, so it doesn't seem worth
the effort to try to improve the comments there, nor worth adding skew
between those headers and the community headers.

Chris ,
Would you like me to remove this comment in a patch instead?
Cheers Nick
No, as I said, better not to add skew between our internal copies
of the header and the community version. Thanks anyway.
