BitBake has no inline comments. A "#" after a value is not stripped and
does not end the statement: the parser simply fails to match the line, so
each of these varflag examples would be rejected outright if copied into
a configuration file.

Move each explanation to the line above the setting it describes, which
parses and reads the same.
