This series of patches provides an ability to add VLANs to the bridge

The bigger question is why is this impossible or too awkward with existing
netfilter (ebtables) functionality? As a practical matter, I like to keep
the bridging code as simple as possible and move the complexity away from
the core.

Also, if the functionality lived in netfilter rules, the developer and user
would have a more freedom to implement complex rulesets.
