This patch provides generic Large Receive Offload (LRO) functionality
for IPv4/TCP traffic.

LRO combines received tcp packets to a single larger tcp packet and
passes them then to the network stack in order to increase performance
(throughput). The interface supports two modes: Drivers can either
pass SKBs or fragment lists to the LRO engine.
