Subject: [patch net-next-2.6] vlan: introduce ndo_vlan_[enable/disable]

Some devices are not able to enable/disable rx/tw vlan accel separately.
they depend on ndo_vlan_rx_register to know if to enable of disable
hw accel. And since ndo_vlan_rx_register is going to die soon,
this must be resolved.

One solution might be to enable accel on device start every time, even
if there are no vlan up on. But this would change behaviour and might
lead to possible regression (on older devices).

Better is to preserve current behaviour and introduce a couple of ndos
to let device driver know when to enable/disable vlan accel. They are
alled at the same time as ndo_vlan_rx_register.
