Given that VXLAN_GPE_MODE_L3 will eventually come to be used by NSH,
MPLS, etc. in addition to IPv4/v6, most of which are not really L3, it
seems like something along the lines of NO_ARP might be better since
that's what it really indicates. Once that is in, I don't really see
the need to explicitly block Ethernet packets from being handled in
this mode. If they are received, then they can just be handed off to
the stack - at that point it would look like an extra header, the same
as if an NSH packet is received.
