It looks like the *real* reason for this change is that you
re-introduce ghes_severity() as a different function in the second
patch.

There are a couple of reasons to avoid that, one of them being that
people will now have to remember what the function did in which kernel
versions.  Also, the current name is good enough IMO, so I'm not going
to apply this patch.
