Instead of adding yet another out-of-tree kernel module, why not extend 
the existing in-tree tap driver?  This will make everyone's life easier.

Since tap also supports data transfer, an application can also forward 
packets not intended to it to the kernel, and forward packets from the 
kernel through the device.
