There is a recurring theme of people that want to forward link
local multicast and other packets. There is a patch that adds a mask
value, but I would prefer a more general solution using netfilter/ebtables.
Is there some way to use actions to do this better?
Or change the existing NF_HOOK somehow do this.

Can you not do this with a bridging router (a.k.a. brouter)?

No. link local multicast packets are not processed the same as other
packets.
