I would have picked 'funcaddr', but at least 'addr' is better than 'ip'!
And I agree that consistency, and then making things generic is worthwhile.

I grepped the latest powerpc/next for uses of 'funcaddr'. There were 5,
your patch changes all 5.

The series passes build tests and this patch has no checkpatch or other
style concerns.

On that basis:
