It occurs to me that there may well be non-malicious packets coming in
with ip_v - well, the four bits that in IP packets are ip_v - other
than 4 or 6. Depending on what code paths ipf_send_ip can be called
from, they might be anything from spanning tree to EtherTalk to RARP
(though I haven't checked any of those to see what they have in those
four bits).
