It might make more sense to have the dissector for "raw IP" not put 
anything into the protocol tree, and just call the IPv4 or IPv6 
dissector.  It would mean that if a file format that supported multiple 
link layer types supported "raw IP", you couldn't filter directly for 
"raw IP" packets, but I'm not sure that'd matter.
