   [TUN] TUN/TAP driver updates and fixes.
   
   - Cleanup debug macros. 
   Replaced DBG() with TUN_DBG() to avoid conflicts.
   
   - Autodetect IP version and set protocol accordingly.
   
   - Use set_current_state() instead of accessing current->state directly.
    
   - Optimized net device registration.
   Do not call dev_get_by_name() unless name has '%' character in it. 
   This avoids extra scan of the net device list.
   
   - Return error code returned by misc_register() (instead of EIO) in
   case of failure.

Thanks

Max

Please extract out only the important bug fixes from this
tree.  Linus isn't taking cleanups and optimizations anymore
and therefore neither can I.

Thanks.
