Ideally, you use high-priority flows to match the exceptions, and then
put the common case into a lower-priority flow, like this:
dl_src=A, priority=100, actions=...
dl_src=B, priority=100, actions=...
priority=0, actions=...
If you really can't do that, then you can use 48 flows to match all the
possible source MAC addresses that do not equal a given MAC, one for
each possible bit that could differ. It's a pretty bad solution because
it uses a lot of flows and has a high cost at runtime.
