This is the third version of the macvtap device driver, following another major restructuring and a lot of bug fixes: * Change macvtap to be based around a struct sock * macvtap: fix initialization * return 0 to netlink * don't use rcu for q->file and q->vlan pointers * macvtap: checkpatch.pl fixes * macvtap: fix tun IFF flags * Use a struct socket to make tx flow control work * disable

I did not get this ready for the merge window, but people asked what the status of this is so I'm posting it now to solicit feedback. The first patch just adds some hooks into macvlan.c and is less invasive than the previous version. That part should be fine and I'd like this to get merged into macvlan for 2.6.33 if people agree that the approach is right. The second patch adds the

As multi-queue nics were commonly used for high-end servers, current single queue based tap can not satisfy the requirement of scaling guest network performance as the numbers of vcpus increase. So the following series implements multiple queue support in tun/tap. In order to take advantages of this, a multi-queue capable driver and qemu were also needed. I just rebase the latest version of
