Yeah, sorry I haven't responded to the last couple revisions of this patch.
When I saw them I tagged them in red in my mail, but don't have an effective
queuing mechanism and ended up getting lost in some other distraction and
not getting back until the red message was scrolled way up out of sight :-/
Anyway, thanks to John for keeping track of it and reviewing it, and ZhiPeng
Lu for being patient.

(You know, I expected someone to counter-propose use of a non-official term
for this, since some places libvirt uses official names from the standards
documents and other places it uses informal terms. Since there was no
counter-proposal, I'm now unsure if that happened because 1) everyone agrees
with using "802.1ad" (which is unambiguous but its function may be less
obvious to a casual user), or 2) nobody even noticed :-P (but I still think
using the official name is better, especially because it assures we won't
end up with confusion if we later need to add some other sort of
tunneled/nested tagging)
I would say 2) is the case :). Is there a standard for the two existing
modes? To not make it even more confusing how about we uses the
non-official term as the libvirt accepted value but in the docs we also
mention the specific standard for each mode to make it absolutely clear
what it refers to?
