Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: rename driver struct to please modpost

Commit

	3d1285b (move virtnet_remove to .devexit.text)

introduced the first reference to __devexit in struct virtio_driver
virtio_net which upset modpost ("Section mismatch in reference from the
variable virtio_net to the function .devexit.text:virtnet_remove()").

Fix this by renaming virtio_net to virtio_net_driver.

Hello,

@Rusty: IMHO there's no need to apologize.  The driver was enhanced by
3d1285b and I consider it OK not to notice the (false) section warning.
(But if you think it was you who took my first patch, then you forgot to
add you S-o-b which is a worse trespass :-)

Best regards
Uwe
