Okay.  Clearing all the protocols the kernel may support in the future is a 
bit expensive due to a lack of a way to get the protocols supported -- the 
code would have to walk the entire protocol id space.  How about the 
following addition instead to provide a list of protocols to disable?

[PATCH net-next] ppp: add PPPIOCGPROTOS ioctl to get the list of protocols

At present there is no means for a userspace ppp implementation to get a 
list of protocols supported by the kernel.  Add an ioctl, PPPIOCGPROTOS to 
get the protocol list array where [0] is the number of protocols in the 
array.
