In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the 'real-device' and the
VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN.  In more recent kernels, the code was restructured
such that this is hard to do without accessing private .h files for any 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.

Applied, thanks.
