   [TUN] TUN/TAP driver updates and fixes.
   
   - Cleanup debug macros. 
   Replaced DBG() with TUN_DBG() to avoid conflicts.
   
   - Autodetect IP version and set protocol accordingly.
   
   - Use set_current_state() instead of accessing current->state directly.
    
   - Optimized net device registration.
   Do not call dev_get_by_name() unless name has '%' character in it. 
   This avoids extra scan of the net device list.
   
   - Return error code returned by misc_register() (instead of EIO) in
   case of failure.

Thanks

Max
