yeah, I know... that's not gonna happen any time soon in my setup... tested OpenStack, and all is 'working' until it doesn't. Then try to find out why... OTOH I like openvswitch very much, and not only for performance. I'll define a hooks/qemu then.

Hello, I _was_ trying to set up an nwfilter for our networking set-up with VXLAN and openvswitch, where we use VXLAN as carrier for separate networks (unlike OpenStack gre-tunnels).
But with OVS, ebtables do not work, and the basic setup of nwfilter rules are based on this premise... or so I understand...
Now.. Is there a way to define nwfilter rules _without_ ebtables ?
What I would like to do is quite simple (block out dhcp{4,6} services from VM's, and ipv6 router advertisements )
There's no support for nwfilter at all when using openvswitch, due to the kernel limitations you mention. The (disgusting) way openstack deals with this is to create a traditional bridge per vm so you have
phys nic <-> openvswitch \---> vm bridge <-> vm tap dev \---> vm bridge <-> vm tap dev \---> vm bridge <-> vm tap dev
