If I read correctly, if the peer is using RFC3168 and TSO_ECN, GRO will
now pump into the stack twice the number of packets it was doing prior
to this patch, am I correct?

That is likely causing measurable performance regressions.

If this packet is forwarded, it will not leverage TSO anymore - with
current H/W.

I think we need a way to enable this feature conditionally, but I fear
another sysctl will be ugly and the additional conditionals will not be
good for GRO.

Smarter suggestions welcome ;)
