> This patch addresses several issues within the VLVF and VLVFB configuration
> 
> First was the fact that code was overly complicated with multiple conditional
> paths depending on if we adding or removing and which bit we were going to
> add or remove.  Instead of messing with all that I have simplified it by using (vid /
> 32) and (1 - vid / 32) to identify our register and the other vlvfb register.

> Second was the fact that we were likely leaking a few packets into the PF in

> ordering was such that we deleted the pool and then the VLAN filter instead of
> the other way around.  I have updated that by adding a check for no bits being
> set and if that occurs we clear things up in the proper order.
