The 5725 family of devices (asic rev 5762), corrupts TSO packets where
the buffer is within MSS bytes of a 4G boundary (4G, 8G etc.). Detect
this condition and trigger the workaround path.

I am curious : Does this condition even triggers ?


Yes, it's a rare problem to occur and was reported in our lab. After we implemented this fix, the problem didn't happen again.
