Subject: [PATCH 3/3] macvlan: allow in-kernel modules to create and manage
	macvlan devices

The macvlan driver didn't allow for creation/deletion of devices
by other in-kernel modules. This patch provides common routines
for both in-kernel and netlink based management. This patch
also enables macvlan device support for gro for lower level
devices that support gro.
