That's what the comment seems to imply (assuming that addresses are
16bits on your machine and basic register sizes are 8 bits).

Comments are sometimes out of date or misleading, but in this case
I suspect it's correct -- I can't think of a machine supported by
gcc where an address spans more than a single register.

No clue.
