Thanks for the review, Ferruh.

Yeah, I don't mind cooking something up and submitting here for review;
I'll wait a couple of days for a reply from John W. before proceeding,
though.

But given there's no documentation for af_packet yet, do you prefer to
wait for that to be available, and apply it all together? Or could that
be applied later as part of another patch?

Tiago.
