orig_dev should be set at the end of the loop. Now you are going to have
it always the same as dev and skb->dev.

I'm not sure it is ok to deliver ptype_base here. See comment above
ptype_head() (I'm not sure I understand that correctly)

Well this is not true. They can return NULL and call netif_rx as they
have before. No changes necessary I believe.

I'm not sure it is doable atm. For bridge and bond it should not be a
problem, but for macvlan, there is possible to have macvlans and vlans
on the same dev. This possibility should persist.
/me scratches head on the idea to have multiple rx_handlers although it
was his original idea....

This hook is something I do not like at all :/ But anyway if should be in vlan
