if.h says:
#define IFF_LLC0 0x1000 /* interface driver control/status */
#define IFF_LLC1 0x2000 /* interface driver control/status */
#define IFF_LLC2 0x4000 /* interface driver control/status */
well, this sure seems like "interface driver control" or "interface
driver status" to me...
what do *you* think the LLC flags should be used for?

i don't agree; the LLC flags are a per-driver "link-level" control
flag. if you don't want to use them for per-driver link-level control
well, then...
