Yes, I was looking at tag_ocelot.c as well for a reference. At some
point I was considering adding a version that let the tagging driver
specifying the struct vlan_ethhdr reference directly since the tagging
driver knows, but using skb_set_mac_header() works equally well in a
more portable way even.
