How about a follow-on patch that picks a better name and adds the comment? I'd like to leave this as a movement-only patch. Once we decide on a name I'll do the rename/comment. It seems like there are very few users currently (oprofile/backtrace.c only?). Then I'll also change the kprobes code to use this instead of their stack_addr helper.
