This patch makes sure that only the backbone gw which has claimed the remote destination for the ARP request answers the ARP request directly if the MAC address is known due to the local DAT table. This prevents multiple ARP replies in a common backbone if more than one gateway already knows the remote mac searched for in the ARP request.

I will answer to the first patch only because this patchset doesn't have a cover letter. But it is about the whole patchset.
First thing: Good that you could convince the IT department that you have to use git-send-email as alternative mailer.
I have not checked the actual content of the patchset ("This patch makes" in the commit messages looks odd) but just started the build_test [1] on your patchset. It looks like your patchset doesn't build in some configurations. See the attached mail for more details.
And the test run without your patches looked good [2].
Kind regards, Sven
