I understood that, but since i could not load anything newer than 3.0.61 on them,
GRO support for GRE tunnels was not included.. but anyway...
I got hold of a new set of machines that i could load 3.8 and perform the GRE 
test on, these also use Emulex NIC's.
What i found was that all packets received on the GRE device are MTU-sized, 
and are not GRO'd together at all. The same thing happens in a qemu environment, 
so maybe there's another issue with GRO for GRE..
