Thread
Hi,

In general hardware devices handle VLAN Tags and checksum/segmentation
offloading together with VLAN offloading.  But, some devices like
vio(4), do no provide the capability of assisted VLAN tag injection.

The following diff introduces a new IFCAP flag.  So, vlan(4) injects an
inline VLAN Tag, but also inherit the offloading capabilities of this
parent device.

bye,
Jan
