IP is done below the network interface layer. What part needs to be done in 
kernel
land for proof of concept? Just use raw sockets to inject packets onto the
(virtual) wire -- or possibly, this could be even done inside broadcast UDP
packets.

The purpose of this mailing list is to discuss issues specific to runninig
the Linux kernel on handheld devices. If you have problems building your
kernel-layer code, should you choose to do that, on a hh.org kernel, then
this is the appropriate list to ask.
