I hacked on this for a few hours the morning and I still can't get the OVS dkms module GRE protocol registration to work on 3.11 - either I'm doing something completely wrong OR its just not possible without the restructure. Anyway; I'm going to take a slightly different course of action for Ubuntu 13.10; I have a DKMS module what now no longer crashes BUT can't register GRE on a 3.11 kernel - which supports it natively anyway so this feels like less of an issue. So the advice for Ubuntu 13.10 will be - for GRE use the native kernel module; for anything else use the DKMS module. Thanks for your patience during the last few days - feel like I've been bombarding the list a bit with this issue!
