Comment(by jg):

 It seems to me that you'll get push back for (ab)using IP level hooks for
 link level options. That kind of thing goes over like a lead balloon, as
 in the long run, chaos would ensue in Linux.

 You'll never get such assurances in advance for acceptance up stream
 before having a concrete patch that people like.  But I suggest you at
 least send mail immediately saying you plan to follow the course of a
 generlic SO_LL_TTL socket,  asking for suggestions, because then it is
 much harder for people to say no when a patch appears, and might spur
 other discussion.

 Noting that this is a real issue seen in real life, rather than a
 hypothetical case will help focus any discussion as well.
