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.

Series applied, thanks.
