+// suitable for low-contention with relatively infrequent writes, and many
+// readers. See:
+//   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seqlock
+//   http://www.concurrencykit.org/doc/ck_sequence.html
+// This implementation is based on ck_sequence.h from http://concurrencykit.org.
+//
+// Currently this type of lock is used in two implementations (gamepad and
+// device motion, in particular see e.g. shared_memory_seqlock_buffer.h).
+// It may make sense to generalize this lock to multiple writers.
+//
+// You must be very careful not to operate on potentially inconsistent read
+// buffers. If the read must be retry'd, the data in the read buffer could
+// contain any random garbage. e.g., contained pointers might be
+// garbage, or indices could be out of range. Probably the only suitable thing
+// to do during the read loop is to make a copy of the data, and operate on it
+// only after the read was found to be consistent.

nit: Since you didn't freshly write these files, consider using a lower
--similiarity option with "git cl upload".  That way history will be preserved.

Done.
