Subject: [PATCH] hv: name network device ethX rather than sethX

This patch makes the HyperV network device use the same naming
scheme as other virtual drivers (Xen, KVM). In an ideal world, 
userspace tools would not care what the name is, but some 
users and applications do care. Vyatta CLI is one of the tools
that does depend on what the name is.
