These are the "type-specific options".  Ethernet uses three of these
(see IFM_ETH_*).  I hadn't thought about it, but some of the remaining
five bits could be used for extended Ethernet subtypes.

I don't think any change is required for token ring.  Finding hardware to
test would be a challenge in any case.  Simply using some of the options
bits for subtype would be simpler.  I could outline this if anyone wants.
