In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require
a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend
with a character device with the same interface as the tun
driver, with a minimum set of features.
Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan
interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a
handle for configuration and accounting, while the data
goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its
own character device, simplifying permission management
significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

This makes it possible to hook into the macvlan driver
from another kernel module. In particular, the goal is
to extend it with the macvtap backend that provides
a tun/tap compatible interface directly on the macvlan
device.

In the vlan and macvlan drivers, the start_xmit function forwards
data to the dev_queue_xmit function for another device, which may
potentially belong to a different namespace.
To make sure that classification stays within a single namespace,
this resets the potentially critical fields.

The default policy for the current driver is to do all its memory
allocation on whatever processor is running insmod/modprobe. This
is less than optimal.
This driver's default mode of operation will be to use each node for each
subsequent transmit/receive queue. The most efficient allocation will be
to then have the interrupts bound in such a way as to match up the
interrupt of the queue to the cpu where its memory was allocated.

Processing multiple ixgbe_watchdog_task calls may cause
the link_up variable and IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_UPDATE flag
to be set incorrectly. In the worse case this is causing
the netif_carrier_off to be called inappropriately which
results in an interface that can't be brought up.
Although schedule_work() will only schedule the task if
it is not already on the work queue the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
bits are cleared just before calling the work function.
This allows WORK_STRUCT_PENDING to be cleared, the work
function to start and meanwhile schedule another task.
This patch adds a mutex to the watchdog task. This bug is
actualized by changing DCB settings or doing extended
cable pull or reset tests.

slab_name_fmt is now a 4-byte pointer and no longer a 32-character array.
This lead to error messages such as

1. After sock_register() returns, it's possible to create sockets,
even if module still not initialized fully (blame generic module code
for that!)
2. Consequently, pfkey_create() can be called with pfkey_net_id still not
initialized which will BUG_ON in net_generic():
kernel BUG at include/net/netns/generic.h:43!
3. During netns shutdown, netns ops should be unregistered after
key manager unregistered because key manager calls can be triggered
from xfrm_user module:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
pfkey_broadcast+0x111/0x210 [af_key]

Getting it is not used, let's drop support for notifications about
(un)registered events from connector.
Another option was to check credentials on receiving, but we can always
restore it without bugs if needed, but genetlink has a wider code base
and none complained, that userspace can not get notification when some
other clients were (un)registered.
