Thanks for the explanation, I've squashed that renames into my patch
below and removed the comment.

Sounds good to me. Updated patch below:

Subject: [PATCH] wfcqueue: functions for local append and enqueue
With level-triggered epoll, append/enqueue operations to the
local/locked queues increase performance by avoiding unnecessary atomic
operations and barriers. These are necessary to avoid performance
regressions when looping through ep_send_events and appending many items
to a local queue where the caller already manages mutual exclusion.
Changes since v1 and v2:
* Function renaming and documentation updates
* rename the existing private __wfcq_append to ___wfcq_append
