From 5cb0846e4099c74b40aeaae5c1c670321b8d6a55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Privoznik Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2019 12:13:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] app-emulation/libvirt: Clean macvtap USE flag description The description for the macvtap USE flag says, that the feature is experimental and requires new kernel. While this might have been true when this was being added (2015), it is definitely not true today.
