From: Guillaume Nault <gnault@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit b8c158395119be62294da73646a3953c29ac974b ] We don't want to disconnect a session because of a stray PADT arriving while the interface is in promiscuous mode. Furthermore, multicast and broadcast packets make no sense here, so only PACKET_HOST is accepted.
