Hi,
I almost missed this one, thank you for fixing it up. I was wondering if we
can move br_ip's mac_addr in the "dst" union to save some space and reduce
ops when matching, since we're also matching on the protocol field. In general
do we need the ->l2 field at all, can we use proto == 0 ? In order to make it
more readable it can be in a helper with a descriptive name so we don't wonder
what proto == 0 meant later. A few more minor comments below.

I think this should be 4.

Can we pass the flag from the caller? This kind of beats the purpose of
receiving the flags as an argument. :)
