Description

Several users have requested support for allowing the creation of TUN/TAP devices inside a Sysbox container.

This currently does not work as the Linux kernel does not allow mknod inside the user-namespace (which Sysbox uses in all containers).

This epic calls for implementing this feature. @rodnymolina has done some work on it already, so assigning it to him.
