qlge: Add offload features to vlan interfaces
This patch fills the net_device vlan_features with the proper hardware features, thus, improving the vlan interface performance. With the patch applied, I can see around 148% improvement on a TCP_STREAM test, from 3.5 Gb/s to 8.7 Gb/s. On TCP_RR, I see a 11% improvement, from 18k to 20. The CPU utilization is almost the same on both cases, from the comparison above. Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao <brenohl@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
