Presume the packets are not throttling the backlog queue. One suggestion: If before netif_rx() is called, eth_type_trans() in the driver code marked the frame as going to other hosts (skb->pkt_type=PACKET_OTHERHOST) based on the frame's MAC address, ip_rcv() will drop the packet at the first sight. Let me know how it goes.
