+  if (aarch64_fusion_enabled_p (AARCH64_FUSE_ALU_BRANCH)
+      && any_condjump_p (curr))
+    {
+      /* These types correspond to the reservation "vulcan_alu_basic" for

The comment here still looks wrong. There is no vulcan_alu_basic reservation in any of the scheduling models.
I suggest you reword the whole comment and not talk about particular CPUs, but rather about the kinds of instructions
you want to fuse. If a reader wants to know which CPUs enable this fusion they should be looking at the CPU tuning structures
rather than reading the comments here.
