It seems to me that the users in upcall processing and revalidation only care 
about ODP_FIT_ERROR, i.e., ODP_FIT_TOO_LITTLE and ODP_FIT_TOO_MUCH get the same 
treatment as ODP_FIT_PERFECT. However, to work as intended, at least for IGMP 
matching, ODP_FIT_TOO_LITTLE flows should be slow-pathed (a new SLOW_MATCH is 
needed), and ODP_FIT_TOO_MUCH flows should be exact matched (i.e., 
non-mega-flow-ed). Making these changes and making sure we don’t introduce new 
revalidation bugs would take more time than I have now.
