VLAN filtering allows the hypervisor to drop packets from VLANs that we're not a part of, further reducing the number of extraneous packets recieved. This makes use of the VLAN virtqueue command class. The ENABLE command is used both to activate the filter and verify the existence of the functionality on the backend. Signed-off-by: Alex Williamson <redacted>Cool, looks good. Acked-by: Mark McLoughlin <redacted>I'd like to make some forward progress on this patch set. Either apply something, or defer to Rusty. If you think I should apply it to net-next-2.6, please just resubmit the serious with accumulated ACK'd etc. Else I'll let these flow Rusty's way.
I'd still like to see if Rusty has any comments now that he's hopefully catching up after LCA. I'll resend them in a couple days if not. Thanks, Alex -- Alex Williamson HP Open Source & Linux Org.
