Re: VLAN patch: Export symbols as non GPL symbols.

In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the

module that cannot
use GPL-only symbols.

Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to 
access the
real-device and VLAN id for VLANs.  This patch is against 2.6.29-rc2.

I added that export after moving the code from a header file, but
there's no reason from my side not to export this to non-GPLed
drivers, using _GPL was merely a habit.
