When an application sends with AF_PACKET and places a vlan header on
the raw packet; then the AF_PACKET needs to move the tag into the skb
so that it gets processed normally through the rest of the transmit
path.

This is particularly a problem on Hyper-V where the host only allows
vlan in the offload info.
This sounds like behavior that needs to be addressed in the driver, instead?

What happens with multiple tags (QinQ)?
