Hi,
OVS 1.9 doesn't support Linux 3.11 as it predates the release of that kernel. However, in many cases you can use the in-tree version of the kernel module directly (namely, if you aren't using tunneling). Otherwise, the fix you suggested is the one used in later versions of OVS.
Oh wait, OVS has been merged into Linux 3.11? That's great news. Since older kernels don't exist anymore in Debian/unstable, will the openvswitch-datapath-* packages be removed soon?
If not, you could consider adding a DKMS exception that prevents compilation with 3.11 with a more descriptive reason.
