+1.

i haven't done this because there's no assurance such a patch
would be accepted so it would just result in a bigger delta,
but if netlog used an interface like flag_install (from the fs
kernel), it would be a step to seperating the protocols
riding on ip.

the protocols are currently imho too intertwined.  and arp is
too bound up with ip.  arp is useful even without an ip stack.
