It looks fine, but I'd re-write the if statement in a following way:

    if (match->wc.masks.dl_type == 0xffff && is_ip_any(&match->flow)
        && eth_addr_is_zero(match->wc.masks.dl_dst)
        && eth_addr_is_zero(match->wc.masks.dl_src)) {

i.e. lightweight operations first, special functions for the flow type
and eth_addr checking.
