+What:	frame diverter
+When:	November 2006
+Why:	The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is
+	broken. It does not correctly handle many things:
+	- IPV6
+	- non-linear skb's
+	- network device RCU on removal
+	- input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors
+	It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled.
+	It is not clear if anyone is still using it.
