When GRE tunnel is in NBMA mode, this patch allows an application to use
a PF_PACKET socket to:
- send a packet to specific NBMA address with sendto()
- use recvfrom() to receive packet and check which NBMA address it came from

This is useful for implementing NHRP over NBMA GRE tunnels.
Sent earlier to netdev list only. Resending to wider audience with
a style issue fixed.
