+1, libpcap would, of course, need to check for both, the offloaded
and non-offloaded case. I'm not sure if you're already doing this or
plan to fix it there, Michal?

I'm not really a big fan of it, but given we added commit a0cdfcf39362
("packet: deliver VLAN TPID to userspace") to packet sockets ...
Michal, please make sure in v2 that you Cc related JIT people.
In case you're sending v2, please fix up bpf_asm in the following way:
I don't like the vlan_{pr,proto} ... it's confusing, so lets add a
better alias and keep compatibility with vlan_pr. Here's the chunk:
