This doesn't let you hook on the Ethertype of a protocol currently
supported in ether_input without breaking all the others.  Personaly,
I'd like to be able to hook IP on one interface while allowing
processing to proceed as normal on the others, but you can't do that
with just an orphin's de-mux node if I'm reading the code correctly.
