It might be simpler to use an actual array for struct field_array.  I
guess that we can be sure there will be no more than MFF_N_IDS
elements?

In oxm_pull_field_arary(), DBG seems like a pretty low log level for
decoding errors.  I suspect that elsewhere in the same file we use
INFO or even WARN for similar messages, will you look around a bit?

I am not sure that nx_pull_match_entry() does what you want because it
validates each value as a value, whereas we want to validate it as a
mask.

I might have more comments later.
