I disagree with this change.  I understand why you are doing
it, to implement your frag'd vs. non-frag'd skb patch coming
up.

But that doesn't make it any more right.

UDP and IPSEC traffic should be multiqueue balanced just like any
other traffic.

I'm not applying this patch set, sorry.

I'd also like to ask you to convert your driver over to GRO
instead of LRO which we are trying to deprecate.
