This is the right idea but I think that the details are wrong.  If an
OpenFlow 1.0 ofp_match comes in, then we should be able to convert it
back to an OpenFlow 1.0 ofp_match successfully on output.  However,
any OpenFlow 1.0 ofp_match that matches on VLAN VID or VLAN PCP will
set VLAN_CFI in vlan_tci_mask (see ofputil_wildcard_from_openflow()),
whereas your proposed code will disallow outputting such a flow as
OpenFlow 1.0.
