// VBROADCASTS{SD}rr register instructions were an AVX2 addition while the
// VBROADCASTS{SD}rm memory instructions were available from AVX1.
- // TB_NO_REVERSE prevents unfolding from introducing an illegal instruction
- // on AVX1 targets. The VPBROADCAST instructions are all AVX2 instructions
- // so they don't need an equivalent limitation.
+ // TB_NO_REVERSE prevents unfolding because doing so would create a full
+ // vector load while the broadcast load would have only been a single
+ // element.
