Linux changes (

Several people including Linus requested to change the KAISER name.
We came up with a list of technically correct acronyms:
User Address Space Separation, prefix uass_
Forcefully Unmap Complete Kernel With Interrupt Trampolines,

Kernel Page Table Isolation, prefix kpti_
Linus, your call :)
