ixgbe> vlan addition and removal brings the interfaces down andup

[Steven Hartland]

Pretty sure this is already in the source tree as it sounds like the same
as the alias fix:-
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/ixgbe/ixgbe.c?rev=1.51;content-type=text%2Fplain

There's also some additional fixes in the latest head version:-

Hi Andrew,

could you please share the patch as I'm dying with this problem.

What makes it worse is that on a busy router the DOWN/UP of the
interfaces causes the ixgbe card to lose all network access until the
box is rebooted. I can reproduce it easily on a variety of hosts from
both HP and Dell. Therefore a patch that would not cause the card to
reset would help a lot.
