I believe the correct way to proceed would be to add llc_add_oui() to the Lua API, so that Lua dissectors that need to 
handle a not-already-registered OUI can register that OUI, including a new dissector table for PIDs in that OUI, and 
then a dissector (no matter what language it's in) could register in that table.
