I made a working patch (tested by me, icmp and tcp).
This work *WITH* netfront_vlan.patch.

simply, the patch will use VLAN_ETH_FRAME_LEN (1518 bytes) instead of 
ETH_FRAME_LEN (1514 bytes).
this patch will involve (for clear code) common.h (including vlans headers) 
and netback.c (using #define in vlans headers ;), both in driver netback 
directory.

this is something like "quick and dirthy", what do you think about it?
