socket option PACKET_VNET_HDR usage

Hi, All

What's the usage scenario of PACKET_VNET_HDR option?

I noticed the author of its owner tried use it in a qemu patch below:
but it didn't seems to be merged after I quick search current qemu tree. Is there any other user land application to make use of this option?
