[PATCH net v3 0/9] tun: Unify vnet implementation

[Akihiko Odaki <akihiko.odaki@daynix.com>]

When I implemented virtio's hash-related features to tun/tap [1],
I found tun/tap does not fill the entire region reserved for the virtio
header, leaving some uninitialized hole in the middle of the buffer
after read()/recvmesg().

This series fills the uninitialized hole. More concretely, the
num_buffers field will be initialized with 1, and the other fields will
be inialized with 0. Setting the num_buffers field to 1 is mandated by
virtio 1.0 [2].

The change to virtio header is preceded by another change that refactors
tun and tap to unify their virtio-related code.
