Missing iproute2 support for 802.1ad

Add support for 802.1ad VLAN devices. This mainly consists of checking
for
ETH_P_8021AD in addition to ETH_P_8021Q in a couple of places and check
offloading capabilities based on the used protocol.

Configuration is done using "ip link":

# ip link add link eth0 eth0.1000 \
	type vlan proto 802.1ad id 1000
# ip link add link eth0.1000 eth0.1000.1000 \
type vlan proto 802.1q id 1000

I fear, that does not work:

lara:/home/ml # ip link add link eth0 eth0.1000 type vlan proto 802.1ad id 1000
vlan: what is "proto"?
Usage: ... vlan id VLANID [ FLAG-LIST ]
                          [ ingress-qos-map QOS-MAP ] [ egress-qos-map QOS-MAP ]
[...]

ip does not seem to know about proto. This does not  have changed in
git either.

I've seen there was an patch to add this around somewhen in 2011, but
it does not seem to have made it.

Or did I miss something?
