Actually I just opened a raw socket:

  s = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_GRE);

and sniffed out the sub-protocol number I was looking for in
user-land.

Alternately you could have the kernel do the (de)multiplexing by
adding a block for IPPROTO_GRE to /sys/netinet/in_proto.c and
adding the necessary socket stuff.
