Changelog usually starts with some context and then problem to be solved. What
the patch does follows that. Maybe just something like:

	For Intel, the memory controller is called Integrated Memory
	Controller (IMC). For AMD, it is called Unified Memory Controller (UMC).
                                                                                
	Change the names of variables and functions from imc to mc in preparation
	for support of MBM and MBA tests for AMD.
                                                                                
	No functional change.

The name of the function is expected to be changed in the function comments
also.

Was this intended to be MC?

In below snippet imc_counter_config is renamed to mc_counter_config yet the
comment above was not changed to match.

I noticed a couple of misses by just looking at this patch. You can
use grep to ensure that this patch does what you intend.
