Tap character devices can be implemented on other virtual interfaces
like ipvlan, similar to macvtap. Source code for tap functionality in
macvtap can be re-used for this purpose.

This patch series splits macvtap source into two modules, macvtap and tap.
This patch series also includes a patch for implementing tap character
device driver based on the IP-VLAN network interface, called ipvtap.

These patches are tested on x86 platform.

I get rejects on patch #7 when I try to apply this to net-next, please respin.

Please check next version. I have based it on net-next.
There is a change in "net-next" repo with ipvlan_core.c that has not made into "net" repo.
