Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] HW VLAN filtering control

This patchset adds the capability to disable hardware VLAN filtering at runtime via the existing vconfig utility. It's useful for debugging purposes.

The first patch modifies the VLAN subsystem to define the flag, and to support passing the flag on to the base driver.

The second patch modifies e1000 to support the flag. Since it's only one function, other drivers can be easily modified to support this functionality.

vconfig is used without modification to enable or disable filtering:

	# vconfig [vlan-interface] 2 1
will disable filtering, and
	# vconfig [vlan-interface] 2 0
will enable filtering.
