Hey!

For lldpd, I was using ETH_P_LLDP in the past, but there was cases where 
packets are not received, notably when an interface is enslaved by an 
Open vSwitch. See: 
https://github.com/lldpd/lldpd/commit/8b50be7f61ad20ebae15372a509f7e778da2cc6f

This may have been fixed, but this kind of differences between ETH_P_ALL 
and ETH_P_LLDP makes it difficult to trust ETH_P_LLDP to do the right 
thing as it will work for most people but a few edge cases may appear.
