Nobody else can use it for something different, the code in net/core/dev.c does specific things when it's non-NULL knowing that this non-NULL value means that it's an AF_PACKET packet_type being passed to it. So we won't make your suggested change. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
