The first time this series was posted (this is actually v2) I raised an
issue with the changes to interpretation of the VLAN tag in ethtool RX
NFC commands: <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/257392/>.
The semantics are now definitely inconsistent between sfc and mlx4_en.
I asked Alexander what ixgbe (first implementation) does with the upper
4 bits, with the aim that all three implementations should be
consistent, but I haven't had an answer to that yet.
