So I'll fix fcoe by allowing frames matching to its own device and that will exclude vlan frames on its orig_dev pkt handler. However now each stacked vlan tag iteration would result in passing up frame to its orig_dev pkt handler but don't know if that affects other and anyway fcoe would be okay with that as well.
