[ovs-dev] [PATCH v3 03/11] OF 1.1 set vlan vid/pcp compatibility.

[Jarno Rajahalme]

I guess it is analogous to the way the OF 1.3 MPLS sematic difference is being treated now,
and also the thought that maybe the separate OF 1.1 actions will not find much use in practice,
as they are deprecated in OF 1.2.
