Just wondering, is it on purpose, or just yet another copy-paste error?

So, you meant to add other OS support, say BSD?

However, you hardcoded a linux only path here. While checking the code
from qemu, I saw that the path is actually different from different UNIX
variants, even for FreeBSD and NetBSD.

    [yliu@yliu-dev ~/qemu]$ grep -E "/dev/.*(tap|tun)" net/tap*.c
    net/tap-bsd.c:            snprintf(dname, sizeof dname, "/dev/tun%d", i);
    net/tap-bsd.c:            snprintf(dname, sizeof dname, "/dev/tap%d", i);
    net/tap-bsd.c:#define PATH_NET_TAP "/dev/tap"
    net/tap-linux.c:#define PATH_NET_TUN "/dev/net/tun"
    net/tap-solaris.c:    TFR(tap_fd = open("/dev/tap", O_RDWR, 0));
    ...
