virtio_net: Add support for VLAN filtering in the hypervisor
VLAN filtering allows the hypervisor to drop packets from VLANs
that we're not a part of, further reducing the number of extraneous
packets recieved. This makes use of the VLAN virtqueue command class.
The CTRL_VLAN feature bit tells us whether the backend supports VLAN
filtering.
