On a related note, we will also need to support 802.1Qad provider bridges
at some point, which use yet another variation of the VLAN header (actually
two nested VLAN tags) with a different ethertype.
I need this for 802.1Qbg multi-channel VEPA (possibly also 802.1Qbh
port extenders), but I have not yet investigated how to implement this
in the VLAN module.
