I wish I could, but the maintainer of PPPoX has gone AWOL for quite a long time.. (commit 2fd68c7ea2ae)

Clearing the queue after the transition happens sounds like a good idea.
If I understand correctly, it does not make sense to get packets into
userspace once the socket is bound to PPP layer.

I have feeling that kernel PPP layer and its API do fully fit into the
API for network devices and netlink layer for userspace.
