Yes, I don't see any ebtables matches/targets that set .proto though, so
no failure should happen in current kernel.

Otherwise, could you add an example where we hit a checkentry failure in
error?

I think you can use u16 instead of the old u_int16_t.

Other than that, this looks good to me, thanks.
