Since TAP has no filtering this doesn't really do much for the slowpath.
Yes, I know that TAP does not support it. Is failsafe so tighly bound
to TAP to block it?
In fact I've put it incorrectly. TAP supports multicast address set, but
simply ignores
it since "every packet is received". But it is still makes sense for
other failsafe
sub-devices which really support it.
