Thanks Simon

Do you mean the "bridge vlan integration" patch?
It is not clear to me if this would support the case
described in B.1.3(802.1Q-2005), does it?

Seems like there is little interest to post this to 2.6 and
I am not sure how welcome this would be either, perhaps
the bridge maintainer could comment?
