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.

I will be rebasing them onto current net-next HEAD this weekend. With
the VLAN cleanup in, some bits changed; I'll also do some reordering to
fix those symbols.

Thanks Jens and David.
David, could you give little idea about how you are testing your changes?
I mean is there any test suite used (may be third party) ?
