There are already iSeries and pSeries virtual ethernet drivers called
veth; calling a local tunnel device "veth" is confusing.
I didn't rename the module nor the header, to avoid breaking
documentation and userspace programs respectively. But I'd really
like to. It'd also be nice to mention "containers" somewhere in the
help text (I'm assuming that's what it's for?).
