Hi Jiri,

No need to be sorry, good things take time.

Sorry about that.

As per some earlier discussion I plan to remove the eth_type field entirely.

Good point.

The second option does seem rather tempting although I'm not sure
that it actually plays out in the access-port scenario at this time.

Agreed, this seems unnecessary.

The incremental patch below is what I have so far.
The patch to add skb_vlan_deaccel() should also be dropped.
