Subject: Allow pktgen to work with loopback devices.
From: Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org>

pktgen currently only works on network devices with type ARPHRD_ETHER.  Add
support for the loopback device, type ARPHRD_LOOPBACK.

I've tested this on my system, using a modified pktgen.conf-1-1 with
s/eth1/lo/g, and it works fine; the network device statistics confirm
packet transmission and receipt.

Thanks to Sarah Bailey for discovering and tracking down the problem.
