There is one thing to consider: format of cmdline option.
It could be handy to have it in the same format as dracut
(for rhel 7):

vlan=<vlanname>:<phydevice>

The thing is that anaconda allows more types of physdevice
specifications in ksdevice= option, and has some defaults
(link, ibft) while dracut allows just device name as 'eth0'.

So we could either
- allow only specification using device name as in dracut
for vlan
- or let ksdevice (allowing using MAC address etc.) to
override specification from vlan=
