I'm thinking about using some more generic match key. It would
incorporate ovs key and possible other classifiers (as your
off/len/mask) as well. Drivers will have free will to implement whatever
the hw supports.
Will do it for the next version of the patchset (most probably after I
return from holliday, Sep 15).
