This is still the same cryptic comment we have in the

that is a bit more explanatory about what is going on and
why we need to do this, please?


Suggestions?

...well, I don't entirely understand the problem it's
fixing, which is why I'm asking for a better comment :-)

Heh.  Fair enough.  How about

  /* The address covered by the breakpoint must be included in
     [tb->pc, tb->pc + tb->size) in order to for it to be
     properly cleared -- thus we increment the PC here so that
     the logic setting tb->size below does the right thing.  */

There are two edge cases that cause the problem with clearing that could be described, but I think that the comment becomes too bulky, as well as confuses the situation for someone cutting-and-pasting the logic to a new port.
