<rant>Oh great, yet another protocol that needs to violate standards :( .
What's so difficult to use proper addressing? HP 'teaming' not so well with
other protocols.</rant>

Anyway. Looking back into lower layer information and then decide to skip all
processing for this layer (because it's not really this protocol) is in the
wrong place. Look at all the sources for LLC traffic, can all these have HP
Teaming frames? Is dl_src.data the right discriminator in all these cases?
It looks like this has to be decided upon in packet-eth.c and handled from
their. Something like Cisco ISL (look for "Oh, yuck." ...) and you see that HP
isn't the only non-team player.
