The first patch in that PR is IMHO incorrect. It introduces a new link
type which is identical to DLT_NULL except that it has a two-byte
header instead of a four-byte header. In short, it's a big patch that
does nothing except break compatibility with other systems that use
LBL's bpfilter and libpcap code.

The second patch looks quite close to what I had worked out (see my
previous post to -hackers), so I'll try it out and commit it if it
works.
