I'm missing then why redirect is not then just enough for Linus usecase.

For my usecase, the MAC address is configured by the user from a
Web-UI. It may or may not be the one from the bridge device.

Besides, found it counter intuitive that DNAT did not work here
and took me some time to find out why. At least I didn't read about
any such known limitations of the dnat target in the ebtables
manpage.

Could you update ebtables dnat to check if the ethernet address
matches the one of the input bridge interface, so we mangle the
->pkt_type accordingly from there, instead of doing this from the
core?
