   Thanks, I found that the vxlan module was built. Then did a modprobe 
of the vxlan module and now lsmod lists vxlan.
   However, like the gre module is being used/referenced by openvswitch 
- vxlan doesn't have a reference count:

   lsmod | grep vxlan
     vxlan                  29379  0
     ip_tunnel              20094  1 vxlan

   lsmod | grep gre
    gre                     5383  1 openvswitch

   Shouldn't we have the vxlan being referenced by OVS as well? (since i 
have some vxlan ports created)
   I have a very basic knowledge of the kernel , so please bear with me :-)
