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
