svn commit: r204173 - head/sys/net

[Robert Watson]

Author: rwatson

New Revision: 204173
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/204173

Log:
  ifconfig(8) expects interface fooX to be supported by the module if_foo,
  and will try to load it if it's not present.  To better meet these
  expectations, change the module name for the loopback interface from
  'loop' to 'if_lo'.  The loopback interface is always compiled into the
  base kernel, so there are no resulting changes in kld files, etc.
