I created a new virtual ethernet device that solves a problem

Unless I'm misunderstanding..
You seem to have pretty much duplicated the work by Lennert (see
thread "[PATCH][RFC] etherip: Ethernet-in-IPv4 tunneling" from
January).
That particular thread seemed to conclude that instead of creating
something new, you can just use GRE tunneling to bridge Ethernet, and
it works in a multi-vendor environment as well.
Is there something in your problem statement I'm missing?
