Setup info:
(a) Using RHEL6 kvm. (b) Loaded driver on RHEL6 setup.
(c) Created 2 bridges on top of two interfaces.
(d) Assigned these bridges to 2 VMs.
(e) Created vlans in VMs.

Problem:
When vlan acceleration support is enabled in driver, traffic stops b/w VMs on vlan interfaces inside virtual m/c.
Without, vlan acceleration, everything works fine.
