This patch copies Auke in adding NETIF_F_LRO. Is that just for
temporary merging, or does the net core really not touch it at all?
Because, logically, if NETIF_F_LRO exists nowhere else but this patch,
we should not add it to dev->features. LRO knowledge can be contained
entirely within the driver, if the net core never tests NETIF_F_LRO.
I haven't reviewed the other NETIF_F_XXX flags, but, that logic can be
applied to any other NETIF_F_XXX flag: if the net stack isn't using it,
it's a piece of information specific to that driver.
I believe LRO is going to have to be disabled for routing/bridging,
so the stack will probably need to become aware of it at some point...
Thanks,
Ben
