Resolve Issue #147: should clarify VLAN tagging requirement with or without VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN

Should the TC accept changes listed in the description to resolve issue 147, for inclusion in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.3-cs01", and future versions of the specification?

Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following.
If you disagree, please vote No.
If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain.

I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #147: should clarify VLAN tagging requirement with or without VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN
--------------------------------------
The software virtio implementation in QEMU differentiates VLAN tagging
disposition subject to the presence of VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN feature:
- when VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN is negotiated, the device starts with
all VLANs filtered (meaning only untagged traffic can be received,
and traffic with VLAN tag will be dropped).
- when VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_VLAN is not negotiated, all traffic including
untagged and tagged can be received.

It is essential to capture this expectation in the spec. Otherwise live migraiton
between different virtio implemenations won't work, either from software to
vDPA, or cross different vDPA vendors.

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights. As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
