Those fields are genuinely 16 bit. So the comment should say
something like "Those high bits are used for CS_FROM_ENTRY_STACK and
CS_FROM_USER_CR3".

What's a 'dword' ? :-)
On a 32bit processor a 'word' will be 32 bits to a 'double-word'
would be 64 bits.
One of the worst names to use.
That's ia32 nomenclature: a doubleword (dword) is a 32-bit value.
