The usage is
# ip link add [name] type veth [peer <name>] [mac <mac>] [peer_mac <mac>]
This version doesn't include the fix for ip/iplink.c as Patrick
said that he had included it into his patches already.

The new command is called "veth" with the following syntax:
* ip veth add <dev1> <dev2>
creates interconnected pair of veth devices.
* ip veth del <dev>
destroys the pair of veth devices, where <dev> is either
<dev1> or <dev2> used to create the pair.
One question that is to be solved is whether or not to create
a hard-coded netlink family for veth driver. Without it the
family resolution code has to be moved to general place in ip
utility (by now it is copy-paste-ed from one file to another
till final decision).
