Subject: [PATCH net] vlan: Mask off vlan acceleration features on vlan device.

Some drivers incorrectly assign vlan acceleration features to
vlan_features thus causing issues for Q-in-Q vlan configurations.
Prevent this once and for all by masking off acceleration features
for vlan devices until such time as we support stacked acceleration.

How about this approach instead?
