Peter Lieven d26e445c80 tap: set IFF_ONE_QUEUE per default
historically the kernel queues packets two times. once
at the device and second in qdisc. this is believed to cause
interface stalls if one of these queues overruns.

setting IFF_ONE_QUEUE is the default in kernels >= 3.8. the
flag is ignored since then. see kernel commit

Jason Wang 4e4f9ae7da tap: import linux multiqueue constants
Import multiqueue constants from if_tun.h from 3.8-rc3. A new ifr flag
IFF_MULTI_QUEUE were introduced to create a multiqueue backend by calling
TUNSETIFF with the this flag and with the same interface name many times.

A new ioctl TUNSETQUEUE were introduced. When doing this ioctl with
IFF_DETACH_QUEUE, the queue were disabled in the linux kernel. When doing this
ioctl with IFF_ATTACH_QUEUE, the queue were enabled in the linux kernel.

Paolo Bonzini 1422e32db5 net: reorganize headers
Move public headers to include/net, and leave private headers in net/.
Put the virtio headers in include/net/tap.h, removing the multiple copies
that existed.  Leave include/net/tap.h as the interface for NICs, and
net/tap_int.h as the interface for OS-specific parts of the tap backend.

Alexander Graf 71f4effce7 Unbreak tap compilation on OS X
Currently compiling the tap sources breaks on Mac OS X. This is because of:

  1) tap-linux.h requiring Linux includes
  2) typos
  3) missing #includes

This patch adds what's necessary to compile tap happily on Mac OS X.
I haven't tested if using tap actually works, but I don't think that's a
major issue as that code was probably seriously untested before already.

I didn't split the patch, because it's only a few lines of code and
splitting is probably not worth the effort here.
