Yes, but packet type is quite important which needs to be extended from 16 bits to 32 bits. For FVL, the vlan tags are in different fields. We can think of putting them together in mbuf, Possibly move current vlan tag down, and add one more 16 bits. Let's see what is the best then. Thanks for the notes!
