But that hasn't kept pace with code changes. Case in point, slb_miss_realmode being called from exception prolog code but isn't below __end_handlers marker. So, __end_handlers marker is as good as a comment but could be misleading at times if it isn't in sync with the code, as is the case now. So, let us avoid this confusion by having a better comment and removing __end_handlers marker altogether.
