Version 2:

- teach tcpdump/libpcap to create code that
uses a "MEM" location which holds the nonll-offset everywhere.

- furthermore, depending on the interface, code that initializes this to
  a constant (for Ethernet etc.) or to query the packet and compute the offset
  (for ARCnet)

- hope that the BPF bytecode optimizer knows how to make it fast in the first
  case.

Does this sound better?
