Should we also add 4.7 to Travis?

I noticed that there appear to be at least two commits that are in 4.7
upstream OVS that are not currently backported here (there might be
others as well):
3b78155b (“openvswitch: __nf_ct_l{3,4}proto_find() always return a
valid pointer”)
d913d3a7 (“openvswitch: fix conntrack netlink event delivery”)

And this one from Geneve:
d5d5e8d5 (“geneve: fix max_mtu setting”)

One other thing that I noticed while looking at this is that the GRO
registration for Geneve and VXLAN (for example, in
geneve_notify_add_rx_port()) is an #else with the hardware receive
registration. This doesn't seem right - they come and go in various
kernel versions pretty much independently of each other. For example,
upstream 4.6 has both.
