With netdev coming up we are able to speak to multiple devices of the same type in one RIOT instance. This would also allow for having multiple TAP interfaces for one RIOT instance in nativenet. One could easily add the TAP's file descriptor to the netdev::more-field of, only the signal handling must be adapted for multiple interfaces.

I'm currently refactoring file descriptor handling in native, once that's there this will be a lot easier to implement.

Nope. This was indeed fixed by #6311. #6121 has nothing to do with netdev_tap.
