03bbca8f63 Add new TAPGIFNAME tap(4) character device ioctl. This is a
convenient shortcut to obtain network interface name using
file descriptor for character device.

9fddcc6661 Fix our ioctl(2) implementation when the argument is "int". New
ioctls passing integer arguments should use the _IOWINT() macro.
This fixes a lot of ioctl's not working on sparc64, most notable
being keyboard/syscons ioctls.

Full ABI compatibility is provided, with the bonus of fixing the
handling of old ioctls on sparc64.

a5213f145a Add the tap driver.
The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are
made available to a character device in /dev. With tap and the bridge
code, you can make remote bridge configurations where both sides of
the bridge are separated by userland daemons.

This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.
