These are not compile time conditionals in net_device_ops, so I wonder
(after reading Felipe's comments) whether you can simply keep the VLAN
code always present.

As long as the driver still compiles and loads, when VLAN is missing
from the stack, then I don't see why you can't just leave it in,
without all the ifdefs.

Thanks,
Richard
