My own thought for how to do OXM was to just add a new 'oxm_header'
member (and possibly 'oxm_name') to struct mf_field.  Do you really
think we need a whole new mostly redundant array?  I hope not.

I'd be inclined to omit the new field types introduced by OF1.1/OF1.2,
such as MPLS, until we have an implementation.

Thanks,

Ben.
