I use promiscuous mode, but the packets are still dropped because
skb->pkt_type = PACKET_OTHERHOST (since the destination MAC address
doesn't match and is not broadcast/multicast).

I realize accepting all packets blindly opens a can of worms and this
must be well thought. Perhaps a user space tool using AF_PACKET is a
better way?
