I should have looked at the latest code, but even if mac-vlan is no longer
an issue, I suspect it may still be possible to get into this case with
other virtual devices because pktgen plays tricks by cloning pkts.

That said, I have no proof, so no further arguments from me.

Thanks for pointing out the new mac-vlan patch.
