Netmap support for Linux Containers (veth)

[Luke McHale]

Hello Dr. Luigi Rizzo and netmap contributors,

I am looking to integrate netmap capabilities into linux’s veth (Virtual Ethernet device) for netmap support within linux containers.  Does a patch currently exist?  If not, do you have any intuition as to what it would take to add netmap capability?  I am new to the netmap framework and I would appreciate any help you can provide toward patching veth for netmap.
