For nfqueue via iptables, use call-iptables sysctl?

Alternatively, implement NFQUEUE support for NF_BRIDGE family,
we'll need this eventually for nftables bridge family anyway.

AF_PACKET should just 'work' without brouting.

Maybe, but if you broute everything you might as well just remove the
bridge...

You can use -j redirect in ebtables broute table to force local MAC dnat (this also
'fixes' the pkttype to _HOST) if you really want to broute.
