I have made packages from sources, using standard instructions in INSTALL.Debian file

Only latest openvswitch works with kernels >3.11
In my case, openvswitch-datapath-dkms refused to make kernel modules for 3.13, ovs was started without  datapath-dkms modules, but don't work with gre which I need in openstack.

May be bonding also don't works on unsupported kernel.
