Spurious double space before "was present".

It's more usual to talk in terms of the "insert" packet.  That is,
write uppercase Z0.

Ditto.

I think the linux-low.h comments should just say "See target.h for details."
or some such, avoiding the duplication (and the forgetting to update
linux-low.h when target.h next changes).

Otherwise LGTM.
