Description
If a MAC client has only 1 VID, as is the case for tagged VNICs, then we can take advantage of DLS bypass for VLAN traffic.
The current logic sets the s_ring_rx_func of a tagged VNIC to mac_rx_deliver(). This function, upon seeing that there is only 1 VID, strips the VLAN header and delivers it to the client receive function: i_dls_link_rx(). This function then calls ip_input().
Since there is only 1 VID there is no reason to go through i_dls_link_rx() when it's just going to deliver it to ip_input() anyways.
If we do this there should be a clear performance benefit as it will probably make the code slightly more complicated.
