I don't get why you didn't need the hairpin mode back then.

In my opinion this is just a special kind of MAC SNAT and you can
already achieve this with hairpin mode, ebtables and iptables now:
1. make sure to mark the packets with iptables before you perform the DNAT
2. in ebtables POSTROUTING, SNAT those marked packets with the MAC
address of the bridge.
3. enable hairpin mode
Even if it turns out not yet to be fully possible with the current
kernel, I think such a feature should be implemented as an ebtables
target instead of increasing the complexity of the generic code.
Your patch also introduces potential unexpected behavior in different
scenarios. Consider the following rule:
-A PREROUTING -s 192.168.10.1 -d 192.168.10.8 -p tcp --dport 21 -j DNAT
--to-destination 192.168.10.2
Note that the DNAT is to a different IP address. Suppose 192.168.10.2 is
on a different machine located on the same side of the bridge. Your
patch would change the MAC source address here too without any need.
Below are some comments on the patch itself.

You should unset the BRNF_BRIDGED_DNAT mask here (no longer needed and
might confuse other code yet to be executed):
skb->nf_bridge->mask ^= BRNF_BRIDGED_DNAT;

I don't like this change. It's basically a hack to prevent having to
enable the hairpin mode. In my opinion you should just return
should_deliver() instead.

Putting the new code in should_deliver() would have prevented you from
having to come up with a new and not very descriptive function name.

I think you'll be ok here, as long as you unset the mask later (as
mentioned above).

I think you're safe here from encapsulating headers since eth_hdr gives
you a pointer to the Ethernet header.
