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.

I've been sick for the last week, and am not 100% sure what I did and did not reply to stable selection emails for, but I'm pretty sure that I did say that the ZBB stuff was a 6.3 feature and the order fix should not be backported.
I'm not sure that I understand how this comment rework is a stable dependency of that backport either, but this should be dropped. Apologies if I missed a selection email for this one while I've been sick, but I was sick after all...
My bad, this one shouldn't have been left here, now dropped. Thanks!
