The vlan tag can be nested with either ADDR64 or GSO element.
The correct test would be to do something like:

    	if (skb_is_gso(skb))
		++count;
        else if (sizeof(dma_addr_t) == sizeof(u32) && 
                 vlan_tx_tag_present(skb))
                ++count;

And the MAX_SKB_TX_LE value is fine.
