Subject: [PATCH net-next] ibmvnic: Enable TSO support

Enable TSO in the ibmvnic driver. Scatter-gather is also enabled,
though there currently is no support for scatter-gather in
vNIC-compatible hardware, resulting in forced linearization
of all fragmented SKB's. Though not ideal, given the throughput
improvement gained by enabling TSO, it has been decided
that this is an acceptable tradeoff.

The feature is also enabled by a module parameter.
This parameter is necessary because TSO can not easily be
enabled or disabled in firmware without reinitializing the driver.
