Can you instead provide the same functionality with some nft/tc
ingress/ebpf filter?
I feel uneasy to hard code this kind of policy, even if it looks
sensible. I suspect it could break some other currently working weird
device behavior.
Otherwise it could be nice provide some arpfilter flag to
enable/disable this kind filtering.
