Hi again,

After doing this rename, I rebased the Flit mode series on top of it and
realized there's one small problem with naming where2. It will be 
overloaded between TLP Prefix Log (Non-Flit mode) and extended TLP Header 
Log (DW5+) (Flit mode) so I'm not sure if there's really going to be a 
good name for it.
