[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 02/13] net: move the tap buffer into TAPState

[Mark McLoughlin]

KVM uses a 64k buffer for reading from tapfd (for GSO support)
and allocates the buffer with TAPState rather than on the stack.

Not allocating it on the stack probably makes sense for qemu
anyway, so merge it in advance of GSO support.
