I don't see why it wouldn't be desirable to have a method of stopping the
driver from continuing to call vlan_hwaccel_rx, so that the vlan_group could
be freed after all the VIDs were removed. It could be as simple as
declaring that dev->vlan_rx_register(dev, NULL) is valid.

This is how I intended it to be used. It isn't done now only because
this event does not occur within the VLAN layer :)
