Greg, thanks! You are exactly right. We standardized Orabuntu-LXC on 2.12.1
which fixed the problem because it's one of the release that has Aaron's patch
built in. If end users want to use other versions, it's easy for them to
reconfigure Orabuntu-LXC to do so.

Probably not - I haven't tried this or looked closely at the error but
it looks like a header has been moved or changed in some way. The
'u8' type is fundamental to Linux so the header(s) that define it
must have changed.
You'll probably have to try a newer version of OVS. Is there some
particular reason you need 2.11.1 specifically?
