The goal is to allow the user-space application to properly
filter packets before sending them down to the kernel.  This
should more closely mimic what a real piece of hardware would

This is against 3.17.8 (plus some hacks and back-ports).

I think this will work for my own needs, but I am curious if others
have suggestions for improvement.
