Thanks Brian,

https://www.openbsd.org/72.html says:
"pf(4) automatically allows IGMP and ICMP6 MLD packets with the router
alert option. Special allow-opts rules are no longer needed for multicast
discovery."

This is true for some igmp dvmrp Probe, igmp dvmrp Report, igmp join/leave,
igmp query.

As far as I know, in dvmrp there are at least 3 more control messages:
igmp dvmrp Prune
igmp dvmrp Graft
igmp dvmrp Graft-Ack

These other control messages should not be blocked by PF, they should pass
just like Probe and Report.

I'm not expert in .c code, so I can't say where the code should be modified
