This promise is violated in a number of places, e.g.  already in the
second function below this paragraph.  Since I don't think anybody relies
on this being true, and since actually honouring it would hurt performance
and code size in various places, just remove the paragraph.

  * carefully filter out these unused bits from impacting their
  * results.
  *
- * These operations actually hold to a slightly stronger rule:
- * if you don't input any bitmaps to these ops that have some
- * unused bits set, then they won't output any set unused bits
- * in output bitmaps.
- *
  * The byte ordering of bitmaps is more natural on little
  * endian architectures.  See the big-endian headers
  * include/asm-ppc64/bitops.h and include/asm-s390/bitops.h
