[PATCH] Add support for 'passthru' mode for direct network interfaces

["D. Herrendoerfer" <d.herrendoerfer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

starting with kernel 2.6.38 macvtap supports a 'passthru' mode for  
attaching virtual functions
of a SRIOV capable network card directly to a VM.
This patch adds the capability to configure such a device.
