The attached patch does just that.  Any objections?

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>

The "SYSENTER" stack is used for a lot more than SYSENTER now.
Give it a better string to display in stack dumps.

We should probably cleanse the 64-bit code of the remaining
"SYSENTER" nomenclature too at some point.
