> Tap character devices can be implemented on other virtual interfaces like

> 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

>
> These patches are tested on x86 platform.
