You can process packets even before ip_rcv() gets them by registering
your own packet handler (struct packet_type) using dev_add_pack().  I
have a small sample at:
http://limnos.csrd.uiuc.edu/notes/code-samples/samples/kernel/packet_type/packet_type_test.c
This may not be the cleanest way, but it isn't that dirty either.
