I remember now: summary_in_tree used to show ", PRI: %u, CFI: %u, ID: %u" on
the end of the 802.1q protocol tree, and if we show more than one VLAN tag
worth it would get too busy:

..., PRI: %u, CFI: %u, ID: %u, PRI: %u, CFI: %u, ID: %u

My new patch does summarize the VLAN ID # and priority (not the canonical field
identifier [CFI] since it's not very useful these days with token ring being
mostly(?) gone) under the Ethernet II header.
