Description
if a user specified an ip-based flowspace, then imply that ethtype = IP
same with tcp/udp/icmp with ip_proto
In general, need to add more usability to the config process.

this is still an issue with 0.7.x;
for example, when someone inserts a flowspace rule with an IP field specified, we should consider (there are pros and cons) forcing the dl_type to ETHER_IP. OVS forces a bunch of these things by default and we should consider doing it as well. Some switches act very differently about this (needs to be investigated).

This is somewhat related to https://openflow.stanford.edu/bugs/browse/FLOWVISOR-35, ja?
If you force it to ETHER_IP, will that cause the rule to miss ARP?
