   Regarding the 0 VID it is indeed used for priority-only frames. 
   Shouldn't it be supported by alowing the user to configure a priority 
   map for the ethernet device (rather than creating another user-visible 
   device?

I don't have any opinion about this, besides the fact that if
the device based interface we have now can do whatever the user
wants we should not add a new configuration mechanism just to provide
some alias that effectively accomplishes the same task.
