Well, the offset name came from TSS_sysenter_sp0, which was the offset
from the sysenter_sp0 (==sysenter-stack) to the task stack in TSS, now
sysenter_sp0 became entry_stack, because its used for all entry points
and not only sysenter. So with the old convention the naming makes still
sense, no?

Will do, thanks for your feedback!
