PCP and CFI fields.
* Ethernet_type for VLAN encapsulation is tunable, default is 0x8100;
* PCP (Priority code point) and CFI (canonical format indicator) is
tunable per VID;
* Tunable encapsulation to support 802.1q
* Encapsulation/Decapsulation code improvements
New messages have been added for this netgraph node to support the
new features.
However, the legacy "vlan" id is still supported and compiled in by
default. It can be disabled in a future release.

m_pkthdr.ether_vlan. The presence of the M_VLANTAG flag on the mbuf
signifies the presence and validity of its content.
Drivers that support hardware VLAN tag stripping fill in the received
VLAN tag (containing both vlan and priority information) into the
ether_vtag mbuf packet header field:
m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag = vlan_id; /* ntohs()? */
m->m_flags |= M_VLANTAG;
to mark the packet m with the specified VLAN tag.
On output the driver should check the mbuf for the M_VLANTAG flag to
see if a VLAN tag is present and valid:
if (m->m_flags & M_VLANTAG) {
... = m->m_pkthdr.ether_vtag; /* htons()? */
... pass tag to hardware ...
}
VLAN tags are stored in host byte order. Byte swapping may be necessary.
(Note: This driver conversion was mechanic and did not add or remove any
byte swapping in the drivers.)
Remove zone_mtag_vlan UMA zone and MTAG_VLAN definition. No more tag
memory allocation have to be done.
