Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] 802.1ad S-VLAN support

Hi DaveM, hi everyone,

this kernel patch, together with the iproute2 userspace support,
allows creating 802.1ad S-VLAN devices.

This feature might have weird interactions with hardware VLAN
acceleration. I've done my best to make sure it doesn't break
802.1Q, but my access to hardware is rather limited. I did grep
& scan all drivers for maybe-affected vlan behaviour and found
nothing. I've tested on e1000, forcedeth, virtio and a Kirkwood
ARM.

It'd be nice to get this into the next merge window to get some
people with funny hardware a nice smoke trail...

Cheers,

David L.
