hmmm. hmmm. hmmm.

I am sorely tempted to drop this patch, simply because it's changing one
magic number to another. One key question I have is, what the fsck does
this patch really do??? If it turns on VLAN [de-]tagging
unconditionally, for example, that's unacceptable.

Comments and insight requested, and appreciated.
