This adds a specialized tap character device driver that is based
on the MAC-VLAN network interface, called macvtap. A macvtap device
can be added in the same way as a macvlan device, using 'type
macvtap', and then be accessed through the tap user space interface.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called macvtap.
