  support VLANs as defined in sec 1.1.6.4 of the VIO protocol specification
- Addition of new MD properties to the 'virtual-device' node as defined

Hi Narayan,

The changes looks fine to me but I don't see interface table
in the case directory.  Can you please add that to the case
materials?

Also, do you expect any OpenBoot changes to support vLANs?
I don't expect so but want to make sure.


Thanks.
