[Qemu-devel] [PATCH, try 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.
