This looks good.

You should also update the description in vswitchd/INTERNALS and the
paragraph under Bonding Configuration in vswitchd/vswitch.xml to
describe how VLANs are used.

I wonder whether we should bother saying that a VLAN-aware physical
switch is now needed?  (Otherwise in the corner case where the same MAC
is on two different VLANs, a dumb $20 desktop switch will get confused
about the port that a VLAN is on.)
