MODULE_NAME is just another define and appearently not used to assemble
a kernel module. Is DRV_NAME depreciated?

I think hv_storvsc and hv_netvsc should advertise their module names as
sysfs driver names. Digging into the hv history it could be that the
initial implementation had a storvsc.ko, and
c3260cfe8f08ca4564df61950cbebbb693aee292 introduced the hv_storvsc.ko

I will send a patch on top of that.
