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

ACKs, NACKs?  What is happening here?

In general, static minors are acceptable and very useful to make
on-demand loading of kernel modules working. They should be used only
for single-instance devices though, which usually means: One single
static device name associated with a module.

That looks all fine here, and for what it's worth:

Ok, applied, thanks everyone.
