Hi Nikita

At least for all current tagging protocols, the size of the tag is
constant. And you cannot run different tagging protocols on the same
master interface at the same time.

However, i think Florian tried something funky with the SF2 and B53
driver. He has a b53 hanging off a sf2. So i think he used nested
tagging protocols!
