There is now also another patch
	http://phk.freebsd.dk/patch/if_tap.patch

for the /dev/tap and /dev/vmnet driver.

Please test this too, it follows the if_tun patch very closely.

>If no objections this will be committed in some days.

>| Remove the bogus tunbasedev, instead record the dev_t in our softc.
>| 
>| Rely on the new an cloning friendlier semantics of make_dev().
>| 
>| Properly dismantle and remove the interface and destroy the dev_t

>| 
>| Remove code from MOD_UNLOAD to dismantle things. 
>|  
>| Remove the list used to hang the tunnels from, it is no longer needed.
