It's legal C and as far as I can tell there's nothing in coding-style.rst
about it; I did it this way so as to put the cases in the logical(?)
ascending order and try to make the code self-document the possible
values of the act-> fields.
Arguably it's the 'default:' rather than the 'case 2:' that's unnecessary
as the switch argument is an unsigned:2 bitfield, so it can only take on
these four values.
Although on revisiting this code I wonder if it makes more sense just to
use the 'count' (rather than 'bitmask') form throughout, including in
act->vlan_push/pop; it makes the tc.c side of the code slightly more
involved, but gets rid of this translation entirely. WDYT?
