In net/tap-linux.c, when manipulation of /dev/net/tun fails, it prints
(with fprintf) something like this:
warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation
this has 2 issues:
1) it is not a warning really, it's a fatal error (kvm exits after
that),
2) there's no indication as of what's actually wrong: printing errno there
is helpful.
The patch below removes the "warning" prefix, uses %m (since it's linux,
%m is available as format modifier), and changes fprintf() to %qemu_error().
Now it prints something like this instead:
could not configure /dev/net/tun: Device or resource busy
(there are 2 messages like that in the same function)
This fixes Debian bug #578154, see

error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it
from its arguments.
This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline:
net_handle_fd_param()'s "No file descriptor named %s found", and
tap_open()'s "vnet_hdr=1 requested, but no kernel support for
IFF_VNET_HDR available" (all three versions).
There's one place that passes arguments without newlines
intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.
This avoids the "TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Invalid argument" message
on kernels without TUNSETOFFLOAD support.

vnet_hdr is initialized at 1 by default. We need to reset it to 0 if
the kernel doesn't support IFF_VNET_HDR.
