Here is a patch[1] that will allow the MTU to be set higher than 1500 on 
a tap(4) interface.  I ran into the need to do this when I had em0 set 
to 9000 and tried to bridge em0 with tap0 (MTU 1500) for QEMU.  A bridge 
interface will not allow interfaces with different MTU's to be added to 
it.

Since I have touched little inside the kernel, I thought it best if 
others take a look at it first.
