Rename the trunk(4) driver to lagg(4) as it is too similar to vlan trunking.
The name trunk is misused as the networking term trunk means carrying multiple VLANs over a single connection. The IEEE standard for link aggregation (802.3 section 3) does not talk about 'trunk' at all while it is used throughout IEEE 802.1Q in describing vlans. The lagg(4) driver provides link aggregation, failover and fault tolerance. Discussed on: current@
