 Note: non-integral pointer types are a work in progress, and they should be
 considered experimental at this time.
 
-LLVM IR optionally allows the frontend to denote pointers in certain address
-spaces as "non-integral" via the :ref:`datalayout string<langref_datalayout>`.
-Non-integral pointer types represent pointers that have an *unspecified* bitwise
-representation; that is, the integral representation may be target dependent or
-unstable (not backed by a fixed integer).
+For most targets, the pointer representation is a direct mapping from the
+bitwise representation to the address of the underlying memory allocation.

nit: "address of an allocation" for me implies the *start* of the object.
