Ok finally got all the .1q stuff verified (took a bit longer
than it should, because of some lab/administrative hassles in
getting the vlans adjusted at intermediate switches). But
the fix as I'd sent has been tested, and it is good for .1q.

The issues I was seeing with promisc were orthogonal to my fix,
or even to my platform - I understand those are being addressed
separately.

I'm probably too late for the merge window, and I dont know if
this fix qualifies as "critical" for net, so I'll re-target v5 
for net-next, to be conservative.
