I had a customer report that e1000/e1000e was hitting a vlan bug when 
compiled without NAPI support.  Turns out it had been solved already 
in a newer kernel.  Please consider for stable.

this commit was pushed in the 2.6.28-rc4 timeframe

git-cherry-pick 9b22ea560957de1484e6b3e8538f7eef202e3596

patch inline (likely whitespace corrupted, please use git) 
(offsets adjusted for 2.6.27.y kernel)

I did a cherry pick to the 2.6.27.y.git and it worked fine (compile
tested only)

    net: fix packet socket delivery in rx irq handler
    
    The changes to deliver hardware accelerated VLAN packets to packet
    sockets (commit bc1d0411) caused a warning for non-NAPI drivers.
    The __vlan_hwaccel_rx() function is called directly from the drivers
    RX function, for non-NAPI drivers that means its still in RX IRQ
    context:

    Split hardware accelerated VLAN reception into two parts to fix
this:
    
    - __vlan_hwaccel_rx just stores the VLAN TCI and performs the VLAN
      device lookup, then calls netif_receive_skb()/netif_rx()
    
    - vlan_hwaccel_do_receive(), which is invoked by netif_receive_skb()
      in softirq context, performs the real reception and delivery to
      packet sockets.

Thanks, I'll queue that one up tomorrow.
