> The new VIRTCHNL_VF_OFFLOAD_VLAN_V2 capability added support that
> allows the PF to set the location of the Tx and Rx VLAN tag for insertion and
> stripping offloads. In order to support this functionality a few changes are
> needed.
> 
> 1. Add a new method to cache the VLAN tag location based on negotiated
>    capabilities for the Tx and Rx ring flags. This needs to be called in
>    the initialization and reset paths.
> 
> 2. Refactor the transmit hotpath to account for the new Tx ring flags.
>    When IAVF_TXR_FLAGS_VLAN_LOC_L2TAG2 is set, then the driver needs
> to
>    insert the VLAN tag in the L2TAG2 field of the transmit descriptor.
>    When the IAVF_TXRX_FLAGS_VLAN_LOC_L2TAG1 is set, then the driver
> needs
>    to use the l2tag1 field of the data descriptor (same behavior as
>    before).
> 
> 3. Refactor the iavf_tx_prepare_vlan_flags() function to simplify
>    transmit hardware VLAN offload functionality by only depending on the
>    skb_vlan_tag_present() function. This can be done because the OS
>    won't request transmit offload for a VLAN unless the driver told the
>    OS it's supported and enabled.
> 
> 4. Refactor the receive hotpath to account for the new Rx ring flags and
>    VLAN ethertypes. This requires checking the Rx ring flags and
>    descriptor status bits to determine the location of the VLAN tag.
>    Also, since only a single ethertype can be supported at a time, check
>    the enabled netdev features before specifying a VLAN ethertype in
>    __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag().
