I did not want to special case it but I want an identity mapping not a
linear one. For some reason a baseclass of X:0 is not allowed, and
there does not seem to be a clean way to get a 1-1 mapping (tc.classid
-> X:tc.classid). I would have to workaround it by using a baseclass
of the form X:Y and then subtracting Y from the value written to
tc.classid which seemed very non intuitive.

Any particular reason for this restriction? Am I missing any other
technique of getting a 1-1 mapping using the flow classifier?

-Thanks,
