30eed323c8 Disallow TUN and TAP character device IOCTLs to modify the network device
type to any value. This can cause page faults and panics due to accessing
uninitialized fields in the "struct ifnet" which are specific to the network
device type.

058535ab0f Cross reference tap(4) and tun(4) and include a short explanation as
to how they differ.  This will assist users in selecting which interface
is more appropriate for their purposes.

(Oh well, I guess that's the danger of updating two three-letter-named

77c2e11309 Implement ifnet cloning for tun(4)/tap(4).
Make devfs cloning a sysctl/tunable which defaults to on.

If devfs cloning is enabled, only the super-user may create
tun(4)/tap(4)/vmnet(4) instances. Devfs cloning is still enabled by
default; it may be disabled from the loader or via sysctl with
"net.link.tap.devfs_cloning" and "net.link.tun.devfs_cloning".

Disabling its use affects potentially all tun(4)/tap(4) consumers
including OpenSSH, OpenVPN and VMware.

b45b9e3cde Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.
