This adds support for passing a macvtap file descriptor into vhost-net, much like we already do for tun/tap. Most of the new code is taken from the respective patch in the tun driver and may get consolidated in the future.

This kernel module can be loaded in host kernel to accelerate
|
|
guest networking with virtio_net. Not to be confused with virtio_net
|
|
module itself which needs to be loaded in guest kernel.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
|
|
be called vhost_net.
