I wonder if this would cause overhead when hash reporting is not enabled?

Tile should be for tap as well or is this just for tun?

Then we need this for macvtap at least as well?

Any reason that tap uses skb->cb but not skb extensions? (And is it
safe to use that without cloning?)

Is using txq required when not l4_hash is required by the virtio-spec?

This seems not elegant (passing three NULL pointers). Any reason we
can't just modify __tun_chr_ioctl() instead of introducing things like
tun_vnet_ioctl()?

Let's find a way to reuse virtio-net uAPI instead of introducing new
stuff to stress the management layer.
