The kernel from Precise doesn't call the function that is triggering
the problem, so it's not too surprising that it doesn't have the same
issue.

It's not clear that this is actually a bug in the OVS code since it
happens in a different function and that function accesses data that
OVS doesn't really touch. Do you know if this happens with the bridge?
Or can you try bisecting? Or use gdb to track down the faulting
address?
