An address unit, which some people call a byte, is the amount of storage
starting at one address and extending to the next consecutive address. On all
systems LLVM supports in-tree today, this is an octet, which other people call
a byte.

However, it really isn't necessary to be this pedantic here at this time, so I
changed the text I added to just use bytes.
