One further thought on this possible approach:

Even if this does work, it seems to me that this pushes all the hokiness
back on the applications which use sockaddr_ll. For example, with the
struct change and a trivial change to arping.c, this now works for
IPoIB. If the structure were not to be changed, there would be a lot of
IPoIB specific changes to each application.
