I think we need to find a way to layer this better with respect to
VXLAN. It seems likely to be too complicated to have the code mixed
together since even the NSH portion will need to expand assuming the
rest of the fields will be supported one day.

Can't we just structure this as push/pop actions and then create a
VXLAN port on with a different UDP port? It would also seem to help
with potentially running this over different protocols.
