:Whether or not the CERN experiment is a product of marginal error (which is the general consensus) a FTL neutrino noes NOT necessarily violate SR/GR.  There are a variety of well observed quantum phenomenon that allow for what is essentially faster than light travel.  For example, quantum tunneling and the Casimir effect.  The catch in these instances is that the rate of  INFORMATION transfer does not excede c, thusly perserving causality and posing no challenge to relativity.

There have been numerous papers on these topics and if you're interested in more in depth understanding of the issus, I refer you to Klaus Scharnhorst's article here: http://www.nat.vu.nl/~scharnh/m16scine.htm, Matt Visser, Stefano Liberati, and Sebastiano Sonego's article "Faster-than-c signals, special relativity, and causality" from Annals Phys. edition 298, Superluminal Tunneling Devices by Gunter Nimtz available online here: http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/547324/files/0204043.pdf?version=1, and "Can Light Signals Travel Faster than c in Nontrivial Vacuua in Flat space-time? Relativistic Causality II" by Heidi Fearn.
