Minor Git-log hygienic request, could you please mention in such
patches what the *new* name is?

This title is annoyingly passive-aggressive:

x86/bugs: Rename entry_ibpb()

Let's make it:

x86/bugs: Rename entry_ibpb() to write_ibpb()

... or so. Because the new name is infinitely more important going
forward than the old name is ever going to be. :-)

Thanks,

Ingo
