The naming is a bit confusing, and I am willing to change it since not
upstream.
The code uses mostly BSD driver which doesn't call itself netvsc.
Instead the BSD driver uses hn_ as a prefix for most visible data and
functions.
Have been trying to name netvsc to avoid confusion with the kernel driver.

Like any name it is completely irrelevant to functionality.
