Good luck for your first patch !

Here it is again. I added the modifications in http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2010/5/23/6277868 for HW accelerated incoming packets (it did not apply cleanly on the last version of
the kernel, so I applied manually). Now, if the VLAN 0 is not explicitly created by the user, VLAN 0 packets will be treated as no VLAN (802.1p packets), instead of dropping them.

The patch is now for two files: vlan_core (accel) and vlan_dev (non accel)

I can not test on HW accelerated devices, so if someone can check it I will appreciate (even though in the thread above it looked like yes). For non accel I tessted in 2.6.26. Now the patch is for
net-next-2.6, and it compiles OK, but I a have to setup a test environment to check it is still OK (should, but better to test).

OK, the patch itself is correct.

Now, could you please send it again with a proper changelog ?

In this changelog, please explain why patch is needed, and
keep lines short (< 72 chars), like the one you did in your first mail.

I'll then add my Signed-off-by, since I wrote the accelerated part ;)

Note : I wonder if another patch is needed, in case 8021q module is
_not_ loaded. We probably should accept vlan 0 frames in this case ?
