Subject: via-velocity driver vlan_filtering and promisc

Hi,

Disabling vlan filters doen't work in promiscous mode.

This patch normaly correct this.

"The non-tagged interface is filtered out as soon as a tagged
    (!= 0) interface is created. Its traffic appears again when an
    zero-tagged interface is created."
in commit d4f73c8e459d355e10051174d859ffd0ef5764c0 is no more true with this patch, just setting promisc mode is needed.

The patch change how setting MCFG_RTGOPT, no more in 
velocity_init_cam_filter() but in velocity_set_multi(), 
velocity_vlan_rx_kill_vid() and velocity_vlan_rx_add_vid()
This patch also autorise to create vlan with id 0.
