So you're saying private VLANs can be used but the user or the other
kernel modules shouldn't be allowed to use them to simplify the
implementation?  Makes sense to me.

It would be interesting to see if you could simply turn off VLAN
awareness in standalone mode, and still use unique pvids per port.
Then you would have no further restriction for VLAN-tagged traffic with
unknown VLANs or with 8021q uppers having the same VLAN ID on multiple
ports.

True. That needs to be tested.
