In the following commits it must be possible for the callers of function tap_push_l2h() to specify which source MAC address should be added to the ethernet header sent over the tap interface. As a preparation, we now add a new argument to that function, still without actually using it.

LGTM.

/* TODO: ARP table lookup */
Kind of pre-existing, but the new context of this series makes this comment a bit misleading. We now *have* an ARP table of sorts, but it wouldn't help here - our new ARP table is host side, but this is guest side. What this comment is talking about is not so much an ARP _table_ lookup as an actual ARP lookup on the tap interface (which would involve a caching table, but also sending actual packets).

Spurious whitespace change.
