That is fine by me.

I have re-written the mac-vlan patch a bit lately, primarily to
simplify the code and remove functionality I never used (and thus, never tested.)
The main changes:
* Allow only matching on the destination MAC, not the source.
* Allow only matching a single MAC address, not a list.
(Removed the hash lookup logic as well.)
If you want to re-add this functionality, lets talk about it.
I also fixed some crashes on module removal and some locking
logic.
The patch is now included in our combined patch, but you can
split it out easily enough. You can find the patch here:

The latest vconfig/mvl_config snapshot is here:

Thanks,
