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.

Sainath Grandhi (7):
  TAP: Refactoring macvtap.c
  TAP: Renaming tap related APIs, data structures,  macros
  TAP: Tap character device creation/destroy API
  TAP: Abstract type of virtual interface from tap implementation
  TAP: Extending tap device create/destroy APIs
  TAP: tap as an independent module
  IPVTAP: IP-VLAN based tap driver
