New Revision: 208679
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/208679

Log:
  Merge r204173 from head to stable/8:
  
    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.
