I'm going to copy William Tu on this.  He has worked on the upstream 
drivers to enable ERSPAN, which runs over gre.

William,

Eli is trying to implement an ip6gre vport module for upstream.  You can 
see his patches at the link above.  I've never
thought about it before but it appears there is a gap between our out of 
tree ip6gre support and the upstream.  Do
you expect ip6gre to work on the upsream OVS right now or is this truly 
a gap?

Thanks,

- Greg
