David, Jakub, please hold off applying this just yet, Vladimir has 
submitted another patch for testing that would be IMHO a better way to 
deal with DSA switches that have an egress tagged default_pvid. 
Depending on the outcome of that patch, I will resubmit this one or 
request that you apply it.

Thanks
