Maybe I misunderstand your point, but as you will be indeed be able to
send that host an ethernet frame knowing its MAC address, you may want
to have it processed at upper layers, if you need to coomunicate with
that host for instance. As it will drop any packet that is not destined
to its very own IP address (or one of its, if multiple), you definitly
need to know it for this kind of purpose.
