    libvirt: set vlan tag for macvtap on SR-IOV VFs
    
    Starting from version 1.3.5, Libvirt allows to set a vlan tag for macvtap
    passthrough mode on SR-IOV VFs. Libvirt also removes any vlan tags that
    has been set externally, by the ip link command.
    
    In order to support the older libvirt versions, this code will make
    the behaviour backward compatible by checking the libvirt version.
    This can be completely removed once the minimum libvirt version will increase.
