Right, I forgot to mention that in this case it's only 802.3 frames
that I'm interested in. I expect to get very few packets, and don't
want to impact the performance of the other IP-based traffic.

Also, I've already implemented the protocol in userspace and don't
wanna move it into the kernel ;-)

This still sounds like packet-socket territory to me. Wouldn't it be
better to clarify/extend the packet-socket interface to cover bridged
ports?
