[PATCH] Module for ip utility to support veth device (v.2.1)

[Pavel Emelianov <xemul@openvz.org>]

The usage is
# ip link add [name] type veth [peer <name>] [mac <mac>] [peer_mac <mac>]

This version doesn't include the fix for ip/iplink.c as Patrick
said that he had included it into his patches already.
