i965/guardband: Improve comments for guardband clipping
While working in this part of the code I had a great deal of trouble understanding what it was trying to do, and matching it with the spec. (mostly due bad wording in the PRM). To help future people, I've cleaned up the wording and provided some ascii art. Reviewed-by: Kenneth Graunke <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Chris Forbes <[email protected]>
