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
