Right, it might challenge the stability of kernel's network internal
subsystem. A stable kernel should accept and filter out junk data

I want exactly this what you described, to mix 2 or more ethenet type 
traffics at a single device! What will happen at the unified interface 
is the agreggate traffic, like found on network hubs for example when 
several ethernet cards meet at the same physical media.

Definitely agreed on this too, the PID changing ioctl is a
have-to-be-implemented ASAP
