Thanks Ben, looks good to me,

I'm thinking if we can create a generic OXM/NXM field for matching L4 level
port number (i.e. NXM_OF_TP_SRC, NXM_OF_TP_DST).
And then we could define a mf_field for 'tp_src' and 'tp_dst' like this:
/* "tp_src".
*
* L4 header source port.
*
* Type: be16.
* Maskable: bitwise.
* Formatting: decimal.
* Prerequisites: eth type is ip.
* Access: read/write.
* NXM: NXM_OF_TP_SRC.
* OXM: OXM_OF_TP_SRC.
* OF1.0: exact match.
* OF1.1: exact match.
*/
MFF_TP_SRC,
/* "tp_dst".
*
* L4 header destination port.
*
* Type: be16.
* Maskable: bitwise.
* Formatting: decimal.
* Prerequisites: eth type is ip.
* Access: read/write.
* NXM: NXM_OF_TP_DST.
* OXM: OXM_OF_TP_DST.
* OF1.0: exact match.
* OF1.1: exact match.
