We could have multiple "net_device"s per single physical
interface at the same time, then.
Multicast is a big issue. Because IPv6 is fan of
multicast, and it uses link-local multicast as its
core infrastructure. Without infrastructure to
support it, I'm not going to agree.
And, firewire driver does not seem to support zerocopy
(fragmented skb) support. It help performance.
