RFC3927 may be a mine field, but the only thing that has to be changed
in the kernel to support it is to somehow configure the arp driver to
broadcast unconditionally on certain interfaces. The majority of the
rfc3927 protocol is done by userspace applications, so should *not*
really effect the kernel.
