I've had a quick look into this problem because I extensively use
VLANs on a bge and discovered that I no longer have VLAN tag details
(which makes packet tracing a nuisance).

As far as I can see, there is nothing preventing bpf_tap() and
bpf_mtap2() being doctored to undo the VLAN detagging so that
bpf_filter() is passed a mbuf chain that looks like an 802.1Q
ethernet frame:  Dummy up an mbuf (as bpf_mtap2() does) that
contains the MAC addresses from the incoming data followed by
the 802.1Q packet type and tag information, with m_next pointing
to the byte after the MAC addresses in the original data.
