In fact the upgrade to 3.2.63 caused the issue for me but the commit
changing ip_select_ident was included in 3.2.62.

Yes, you are right, the patch include a previous fix for another
modification of the prototype of ip_select_ident which was included in
3.2.51 (commit 703133de331a7a7df47f31fb9de51dc6f68a9de8).

Looking at the relevant bug in Ubuntu (#1262692) it looks like only GRE
tunnel where broken by this change and nobody reported this bug, but I
can confirm that these changes where included in the kernel shipped by
Debian.

I am affraid all my servers running openvswitch are now upgraded to
3.2.63-2+deb7u1 but I was able to build and load the openswitch module
with this patch on a VM running 3.2.60-1+deb7u3.

Would you prefer a patch without this modification ?
