but I feel quoting spec
and including table name is a good idea actually, but pls quote verbatim:
I don't do that and don't ask it from others.
The reason being that pointing where to look in spec and having
verbatim copy of field name is sufficient
for looking it up and
QEMU does not endup with half of spec copied in (+unintentional mistakes).
(As reviewer I will check if whatever written in patch actually matches
spec anyways)
That's why I typically use
'spec ver, verbatim field name[, chapter/table name]'
policy. The later optional part is usually used for pointing
to values description.
