I think the whole pan management can/should be stored in user space by
a daemon running in background. This can be a network manager as it
listens to netlink events as "detect PAN xy" and stores it and offers
it in their list to associate with it.

We need somewhere to draw a line and I guess the line is "Is this
information used e.g. as any lookup or something in the hot path", I
don't see this currently...
