Sometimes it does, I've seen it used with infiniband devices a lot, also
there were cases of some ppp users.

My personal opinion would be to disable non-ethernet devices, but support was
already added and has been there for a long time so we have to fix this for
the older releases, I don't mind removing non-ethernet device support for net-next
but I'm guessing there're people still using that like the case that started
this thread.

 Nik
