You guys really want to kill GRO performance. Really the aggregation should happen at the first layer (ethernet device), instead of doing it after tunnel decap. This is already done for GRE, IPIP, SIT, ... GRO having to access metadata looks wrong, if you think about trying to do the same function in hardware (offload)
