the totals (the behaviours) are consistent whether
VLi=0 or VLi=1.
-*Programmer's Note: if necessary VL may be obtained by using the alias
-`getvl`, followed by incrementing or decrementing the GPR with the
-copy of VL, and using `setvl` with the same GPR, to adjust VL.
-Programmers should be aware that MAXVL will always limit
-VL*.
+*Programmer's Note: Data-dependent fail-first stores an updated
+VL in the SVSTATE SPR, not in any GPR. If needed
+VL may be obtained by using the alias `getvl`.
