I send [PATCH -tip 0/7] x86 rename all fields mpc_X to X based on this.

Currently I rename fields of few mpc_X structures from
arch/x86/include/asm/mpspec_def.h. In this file struct
intel_mp_floating is still remaining with mpf_X fields, Is this also
need to be fixed ? if yes then mpf_intel name is OK ?

Similarly in arch/x86/include/asm/io_apic.h :
1. struct mp_config_ioapic with mp_X fields (what name will be best ?)
2. struct mp_config_intsrc with mp_X fields

These are also used in arch/x86/kernel/mpparse.c

Please let me know should I fix mp_X things first or should I proceed
further in mpparse.c as per your suggestions.

Thank you,
JSR
