Looking through B.1.3 it looks like the patch would need some
enhancement. It provides a good basis - handling tagging/untagging and
filtering, but would need a way to specify the untagged vlan separately
for in and out.

I see. Perhaps the VLAN maintainer(CC:ed) can comment too. Especially about extending
the VLAN code to allowed several VLANs in one interface?

Just accepting additional VIDs on one VLAN device should be
a relatively trivial change, all you need to do is call
vlan_group_set_device() with the additional VIDs.

I'd suggest to add something similar to the QoS-mapping lists
in vlan_netlink.c for the additional VIDs.

Yes, this seems to be the easy part. There are a few bride issues though:
How would the bridge be able to filter pks based on VID?
How to control which VID to use at pkg TX?
Can you have the same VID on multiple VLAN interfaces?
