The kernel is forcing me in running an IP-stack on every network interface ?

What if I need an ethernet interface for running FibreChannel over 
Ethernet oder Audio over Ethernet (AoE) in Ardour/Jack ?

In such cases I would not need/want any TCPIP-stuff on this interface.

If there is an active IP-stack, I think the rfc requires a link local 
address. Surely the kernel can disable a specific protocol for a network 
interface.

And I think the network manager gui is designed in exactly this way. On 
a global scale I can switch on/off complete protocoll stacks for an 
interface. If this i activated, I can drill down to the specific details 
and configure link local, dhcpv6, manual, ...
