  Log:
  SVN rev 208679 on 2010-05-31 22:18:42Z by rwatson
  
  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.
