There is a typo in the subject.

I think that the new text actually adds to the confusion because it is
not obvious to the reader whether the parenthesized examples are
"metadata key fields" or "other than metadata key fields". Perhaps:
When used with %OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE, only metadata key fields
(e.g. priority, skb mark) are honored. All the fields that can be
are instead parsed from the packet.
