KAME is right on this.  We should keep the old one if at all possible.  

The only other thing we might want to do is move 'phys_index' to
'start_phys_index', and make a new 'phys_index' that does a WARN_ONCE(),
gives a deprecated warning, then calls the new 'start_phys_index' code.

So, basically make the new, more clear name, but keep the old one for a
while and deprecate it.  Maybe we could get away with removing it in ten
years. :)
