If we change receive_filter(), we also need a flag to indicate
management this feature isn't negotiated, management will do some
additional operation to host device to get same effect.

Actually your solution is better, QEMU will return a long list
[0,1,2,...4095] to management, host device will filter all the vlan
packets and send to QEMU.

So the problem raised by mst doesn't exist.
