The driver name is a bit of an ABI for hotplug, etc, anyway, so having 
the Xen tools depend on that name isn't very odd.  And while it is best 
if the module matches the driver name, it's not uncommon for it to 
mismatch - and we've been doing it for ages anyway (xen_netfront is 
called "vif" and aliased "xen:vif" and "xennet").
