Is this a leftover from testing? Exporting the function for !__KERNEL__
seems pointless.
Michael, you didn't reply on this comment and the code is still there in v8.
Do you actually need this? What for?

Sorry, missed the question. If you look closely it is not exported for
!__KERNEL__ at all.  The stub is for when CONFIG_TUN is undefined.
Maybe I'll add a comment near #else, even though this is a bit strange
since the #if is just 2 lines above it.
