NOTE: currently, the libpcap patch for SocketCAN leaves the SocketCAN
pseudo-header in host byte order; the dissector assumes that the fields in the
pseudo-header are little-endian, which won't work if, for example, a PowerPC
processor is doing the capture (unless the software is running the PPC
processor little-endian; I don't think any Linuxes run it little-endian). 
CANbus is used in automotive applications, and I think PowerPC processors are
heavily used in automobiles.
