What do people want to do about this? I have no particular desire to
answer all those emails asking about this, so unless Dominik objects,
I think we should just rename "yenta.c" to "yenta_socket.c" so we have
back-compatibility.

(This issue has appeared because yenta_socket.ko used to be created
by combining yenta.o with pci_socket.o. Since pci_socket.c no longer
exists, we create the module from yenta.c directly, so its now called
yenta.ko.)
