Physical device to Kernel-netlink mapper

Is there a virtual device that would allow to connect the communication paths
from the physical devs into the kernel netlink subsystem in a way that would
be more flexible than what is currently avaible?

Something like this:

Kernel-netlink
|
virtual dev
|
--> mapper/conf <--
|
physical dev(s)

tun/tap,bridge,bond... are devs that incorporate this idea, but don't allow
for a flexible configuration.

Thanks!
