   ## This mask is to control Heap Guard behavior.
+  # Note that due to the limit in pool memory implementation and the alignment
+  # requirement of UEFI spec, BIT7 is a try-best setting which cannot guarantee
+  # that the returned pool is exactly adjacent to head guard page or tail guard
+  # page.
   #   BIT0 - Enable UEFI page guard.<BR>
   #   BIT1 - Enable UEFI pool guard.<BR>
   #   BIT2 - Enable SMM page guard.<BR>
   #   BIT3 - Enable SMM pool guard.<BR>
   #   BIT7 - The direction of Guard Page for Pool Guard.
-  #          0 - The returned pool is adjacent to the bottom guard page.<BR>
-  #          1 - The returned pool is adjacent to the top guard page.<BR>
+  #          0 - The returned pool is near the tail guard page.<BR>
+  #          1 - The returned pool is near the head guard page.<BR>
   # @Prompt The Heap Guard feature mask
