This patch adds the possibility to not just drop packets, but to also have them rejected where iptables at least sends an ICMP msg back to the originator. On ebtables this again maps into dropping packets since rejecting is not supported. I am adding 'since 0.8.9' to the docs assuming this will be the next version of libvirt.
