[Qemu-devel] [PATCH, try 2, version 2] qemu/tap: add -net tap, dev= option

[Arnd Bergmann]

In order to support macvtap, we need a way to select the actual
tap endpoint. While it would be nice to pass it by network interface
name, passing the character device is more flexible, and we can
easily do both in the long run.

This version makes it possible to use macvtap without introducing
any macvtap specific code in qemu, only a natural extension to
the existing interface.

Hopefully addressed all comments from Michael. I did compile-test
the non-linux files I touched (the solaris file failed to build for another
reason), and this now prevents passing dev= on non-linux machines.
