Yeah I will rename it.  Though, I will skip renaming all the function
names, they have a pvscsi_ prefix right now. Since they are defined
static it should be okay to keep them as is, I think.

Yeah, I will make sure that the proc file name and other printk prefixes
are modified with the new module name.

I would prefer keeping pvscsi in the module name just so that existing
users are not confused, the adapter that the backend exports is named as
pvscsi too. So something like vmw_pvscsi should be good enough to be
non-generic at the same time being close to our existing module name. 

Thanks,
Alok
