Subject: [iproute PATCH v2 8/8] man: tc-vlan.8: Describe CONTROL option

This should be made generic and part of a common tc-actions man page.
Though leave it here for now to not confuse readers of the example which

+The following example encapsulates incoming ICMP packets on eth0 from 10.0.0.2
+into VLAN ID 123:
+
+.RS
+.EX
+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
+#tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: pref 11 protocol ip \\
+	u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:1 \\
+	u32 match ip src 10.0.0.2 flowid 1:1 \\
+	action vlan push id 123
+.EE
+.RE
+
+Here is an example of the
+.B pop
+function: Incoming VLAN packets on eth0 are decapsulated and the classification
+process then restarted for the plain packet:

+#tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
+#tc filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: pref 1 protocol 802.1Q \\
