This API allows virtio-net to enable various offload features on a
tap interface - e.g. to tell the host kernel it can pass up partial
checksums to userspace.

For now, we just add an empty header before writing and strip the header
after reading.
We really only want IFF_VNET_HDR when virtio_net is using it, but it
would significantly complicate matters to try and do that. There should
be little or no performance impact with always adding headers.

Making features dependent on the availability of newer versions if_tun.h
is going to get seriously clumsy, so let's just import the definitions
we need. It's only a small handful.
If and when we're comfortable depending on 2.6.30 headers, we can remove
this again.
