Can you split this into two patches?
We definitely want the part adding support for macvtap device mode
setting now. The new passthru mode for macvlan and macvtap probably
needs some discussion and the patch in iproute2 will depends on
the kernel patch getting merged first.
I've added Stephen to the Cc list, he should also take a look.
