I have no objection.  All it does is rename a couple of functions.  
There's no reason for this to go into 2.6.34; it can wait for the next 
merge window.

I think I will split this up into the following set of patches:
	- rename the functions and add a macro for the old names
	- rename all in-kernel usages
	- rename the staging tree usages
	- remove the macros

the first patch can go in to Linus's tree now, to make it easier for the
2nd and 3rd patches to live in linux-next easier as we might need to
look at the usages in other development trees before we can add the last
one.

Sound good?

thanks,
