Summary

On igb/em interfaces we did not receive packets with VLAN tag 0 unless
vlanhwfilter was disabled.

This can be fixed by explicitly listing VLAN 0 in the hardware VLAN
filter (VFTA). Do this from em_setup_vlan_hw_support(), where we already
(re-)write the VFTA.

I think it's probably fine but can you elaborate situations where vlan 0 is "tagged"

VLAN 0 Priority Tagging feature enables 802.1Q Ethernet frames to be transmitted with the VLAN ID set to zero.

Some people need VLAN 0 because their ISP wants to see it (PPPoE links, some AT&T U-Verse see: https://github.com/MonkWho/pfatt)

See also: 802.1Q-2005 page 76 Section 9.6, Table 9-2.

VID value (hexadecimal)
Meaning/Use
0
The null VLAN ID. Indicates that the tag header contains only priority information; no VLAN identifier is present in the frame. This VID value shall not be configured as a PVID or a member of a VID Set, or configured in any Filtering Database entry, or used in any Management operation.

1
The default PVID value used for classifying frames on ingress through a Bridge Port. The PVID value of a Port can be changed by management.

FFF
Reserved for implementation use. This VID value shall not be configured as a PVID or a member of a VID Set, or transmitted in a tag header. This VID value may be used to indicate a wildcard match for the VID in management operations or Filtering Database entries.
