Actually, I had ever thought the same thing as you. But at last I didn't do as 
that, for 3 reasons:
1. I checked the history commit of ipfix, seems its not active in last 2-3 
years. So I guess not so many ovs users are using ipfix feature.
2. In xlate_xbridge_set, the place where checks the change flag, it doesn't 
check the ipfix options changes as well.

3. My main patch is the second one in this series, this patch is here because 
it breaks two test cases. So I didn't spend muhc time on the ipfix issue.
