I came across the issue because i used cb in batching to store transient
state which is used between qdisc dequeueing and hardware enqueueing
(looked and smelled legit to me).
    
Right, dequeue->device should be OK and doesn't work because of
the VLAN issue.
  
So, shall we add a new field to the skb in order to get the info out of cb?

Looks like a single 32-bit field would be sufficient.

Thanks,
Ben
