The linux tap and macvtap backends can be told to parse vnet headers
according to little or big endian. This is done through the TUNSETVNETLE
and TUNSETVNETBE ioctls.
This patch brings all the plumbing for QEMU to use these APIs.

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

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.

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.

Unbreak tap compilation on OS X
Broke the build on Linux due to a bad #if guard

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.
