As I said, I'm not a "kernel code digger" :(
My last C-code practice for Linux was over 5 years ago (promisc mode
tools like packet sniffers).
Suggestions?

Send request about this to netfilter-devel maillist.
As I understand iptables concept, this would be extension like
<iptables src root>/extensions/libipt_mac.c
with additional parameter like --vlan-num={1-4095}
Not bad idea to do this, and now I try on.
But there isn't solve my main problem - coexistence of VLANed and
non-VLANed bridges. I'm awaiting what Lennert can said about...
But (again :) may be it will allow to solve my problem by a little bit other way.
