Right, already doing some generic encap/decap for tunnelling.

Do we want tc and likely the skbedit action to explode into a
packet mangling tool? Would it make sense to plug into ebtables
perhaps with a new family, NFPROTO_OPENFLOW or even on the
existing NFPROTO_BRIDGE.

Of course, ovs is not limited to layer2 switching.

Although doing it with classifiers and more actions would flush
out that TODO in act_mirred, and get us an mq_ingress among
other things.
