No, but David Lamparter has just recently posted patches which implement this.

They work fine for me on top of net-next. I had to add EXPORT_SYMBOL for
vlan_untag and vlan_do_receive to be able to build as a module.
You will need his patch for iproute2 as well to be able to create 802.1ad
VLAN devices.
