Argh...
So I wanted to ask you how's performance with a few 8021q uppers, then I
remembered that vlan_do_receive() probably does something more efficient
here than a complete lookup, like hashing or something, then I found the
vlan_find_dev() helper function.... Sorry for not noticing it in the
first place.
