Here is the relevant output from modinfo:

I am running kernel 3.4.3, pretty much a vanilla kernel.  Is there a 
recommended kernel version and ovs build for GRE that performs best?

I am also trying to rebuild with 2.6.32 (the README mentioned that was the 
version most tested against) along with 1.7.1 to compare.
