Is there any kernel capture code or any other device that would support thi=
s?

The general procedure to get there, however, is:

1. Propose the new header.
2. Implement code in Wireshark to handle the header and include useful
info in the pseudo-header
3. Implement code that can generate sample captures with the new header.
4. Get someone to add such DMG support to DMG-capable devices to
generate the new header.
