I've only just noticed this, but you probably want to also add a
line mapping your IBM address to your new one:

Anthony Liguori <address@hidden> Anthony Liguori <address@hidden>

(perhaps in a new section at the bottom for "people
who've changed their addresses").

As well as making the "git shortlog -nse" stats look
better, scripts/get_maintainer.pl consults mailmap, so
it will mean people using its "grab emails from
affected commits" feature won't use your old email
by mistake.

(me, I mostly care about the stats scoreboard ;-))
