The MACVLAN driver source revealed what the documentation concealed:

[root at server ~]# docker network create --driver macvlan --opt
parent=tap0 --opt macvlan_mode=vepa macvlan0

The containers now reach the KVM, but not each other, the KVM can reach
both - finally!

This leaves me with some performance tests to be done to find out which
of the two ways, VETH or ETHERNET/TAP, provides the most performance at
the least resource usage.
