The have a been a bunch of rather recent changes to the kernel to support
guest VLANs correctly.  The issues have been around TSO/GSO implementation
in the kernel.

Could try disabling TSO/GSO and tx checksums on the vlan devices in the guest
and see if it solves your problem?

If it does, could you try the kernel from
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git
turn the offloads back on and see if the problem is solved?

Thanks
