I'm not sure I fully understand the intent here.  The concept I've been
using for OVN logical flows (which I now understand I haven't
articulated), is that whether the controller is involved in processing
should be hidden from the logical flow table.  That is, instead of
"controller" as the action, the action would be whatever should actually
be done to the packet.  Then ovn-controller can implement that through
the flow table, or by sending the packet to the controller, or some
other appropriate way.
