Including such an argument at the time the new API is introduced obviously doesn't introduce compatibility issues for that API. :-) (I'm actually thinking of an attribute/value list for various open options in the API, so that additional "arguments" can be introduced as desired without requiring API changes.)
I think that's a great idea. The promisc option could then use the same method. Bruce Simpson posted (here and to freebsd-net) a patch to add an ioctl to control timestamp behaviour which would also be nicely handled with an attribute/value list scheme.
