So standalone ports are completely VLAN-unaware and always use a FID of
0, ports under a VLAN-unaware bridge are in fallback mode (look up the
VLAN table but don't drop on miss), use a FID of 1-7, and ports under a
VLAN-aware bridge are in the security mode and use the CVID instead of
the FID for VLAN classification?

Make sure to test a mix of standalone, VLAN-unaware bridge and
VLAN-aware bridge with the same MAC address in all 3 domains. If that
works well this should be really good.
