Nice catch about "it makes it possible to make NIC driver L2
only" -- it's not present in the current code, but we're thinking

Re collaborate -- I'm expecting the first RFC to hit internal review
in 2-3 weeks, hope it will get posted to LKML soon after that. GH
tree should be finalized this week, so you could start playing.
