Thanks for your suggestion. I will try to make another patch series
which introduce ops for each option.

I also thinks it's better now. E.g. some days ago there was another
question on netdev for doing more ndp_proxy stuff inside the kernel [0].
If such feature will be added later then both implementation would be
touched (which almost introduce the same code).
