As of NetBSD 10.0, it is possible to send packets via bpf through loopback devices

[dhgutteridge]

Brief description

Just mentioning that with NetBSD 10.0, you should be able to send packets via bpf through loopback devices.

This was addressed in these two commits:
NetBSD/src@39ce7d7
NetBSD/src@bb48f2a

So your testing exception won't be necessary when you rebase tests to 10.0.
