From 7c7c7f01cc5e3e423120a4848a73dd5e4586f2f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: stephen hemminger Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:30:38 +0000 Subject: vhost-net: add module alias (v2.1) By adding some module aliases, programs (or users) won't have to explicitly call modprobe. Vhost-net will always be available if built into the kernel. It does require assigning a permanent minor number for depmod to work. Also: - use C99 style initialization. - add missing entry in documentation for loop-control Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-By: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: David S.
