It does work.  Only problem is that VLAN tags are stripped before 
reaching bpf.  Thus, applications like tcpdump and wireshark don't 
see the VLAN tags.

As I said earlier, it is just a stopgap until we teach bpf to insert 
VLAN tags back.  In fact, my intention was to MFC this before 6.2 
release and to fix -CURRENT when we have correct implementation 
because I don't think we can add the 'feature' in time.  If every one 
dislikes this, I have no problem backing it out, of course.
