	I believe both of the above are incorrect, as vlan_proto is set
explicitly to VLAN_N_VID (in host byte order) by bond_verify_device_path
as a sentinel value.  Byte swapping the tags->vlan_proto value would
cause the test or loop to miss the sentinel.

	This is probably harmless, other than adding work to the
transmit path.
