You could set this up with flood_vlans, but you would have to list the
vlans. ovs-vsctl supports ranges, so you could probably do this easily,
e.g.:
ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 flood_vlans=1-4095
Another way to do this would be to add flows or to use a controller to
add flows. All you really need is a high-priority flow that does normal
processing for your "regular vlan" and another one that falls back to
flooding, e.g.:
priority=50000, vlan_vid=1234, actions=normal
priority=40000, actions=flood
