We will have to add all the configuration machinery at the per-queue
level that already exists at the per-netdev level.
Perhaps the mac-vlan patch would be a good fit. Currently it is all
software based, but if the hardware can filter on MAC, it can basically
do mac-vlan acceleration. The mac-vlan devices are just like 'real' ethernet
devices, so they can be used with whatever schemes work with regular devices.
