I had followed the existing macvtap rtnl_link_ops convention here.
It seems cleaner this way. You can define the macvtap ops static and
Call equivalent macvlan functions from it if required. It  also gives you
flexibility in adding any macvtap specific stuff before or after you call
the macvlan equivalent function (like some of the macvtap rtnl link ops
already do today)

In any case this part and the below empty line error goes away in the new
version.

Thanks,
