Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] tun: support socket system calls

There is an underlying socket object in struct tun that isn't accessible,
so if you try to do a recvmmsg on a tun file descriptor you'll get an
error. This small patchset allows external file objects to claim socket
status and enables it for tun_files.

Alex Gartrell (2):
  socket: Allow external sockets to use socket syscalls
  tun: enable socket system calls
