While the current list of rules may have been accurate when created it now lacks some clarity in the face of isa-manual updates. Instead of trying to continuously align this rule-set with the one in the specifications, change the role of this comment. This particular comment is important, as the array it "decorates" defines the order in which the ISA string appears to userspace in /proc/cpuinfo. Re-jig and strengthen the wording to provide contributors with a set order in which to add entries & note why this particular struct needs more attention than others. While in the area, add some whitespace and tweak some wording for readability's sake.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
