Although it is generally best to configure vlans directly though Open vSwitch, enabling vlan acceleration on internal devices can avoid some issues and hardware limitations if Linux vlan devices are used. It is only used on kernels that support modern vlan data structures: 2.6.27 for the actual acceleration and 2.6.37 for dynamic configuration.
