I looked at version v2.0.8-2 of ebtables user space code and bridge
netfilter kernel code from 2.6 and realized that v6 support is not
there. 

Does anyone know if anyone is working (or planning) on adding this
support? 

If not, I'd like to add this minimum support into ebtables for dnat on
IPv6 packets and is it fine for me to send a patch for review?
