No, that all seems well. Without TSO (with the trivial mac80211 patch to
let me turn it off with ethtool) I get about 890Mbps, so about 5% less.
That's not actually *that* bad, I guess due to software A-MSDU in
mac80211, but it's not really the right direction :)

Changing wmem_max/tcp_mem to outrageous values also didn't really make
any difference.

I guess it's time to see if I can poke into the TCP stack to figure out
what's going on...
