I want to be selective. My setup is a home router. So I can have ebtables rules 
for 
which traffic to (b)route and which to bridge, based on security/performance 
criteria.

I may be missing something obvious, but what is the normal case where using an 
ebtables 'broute' "-j DROP" rule does work? It seemed to me that without the 
fix all (b)routed packets would get lost in IP layer
(unless also dnat or something is done in addition which changes the pkt_type 
value). 
What is the original intention of this table/chain if not pulling packets 
between 
"other hosts" out of the bridge and passing them through the IP and higher 
layers?
