Subject: [PATCH v2] virtio-net: Introduce extended RSC feature

VIRTIO_NET_F_RSC_EXT feature bit indicates that the device
is able to provide extended RSC information. When the feature
is negotiatede and 'gso_type' field in received packet is not
GSO_NONE, the device reports number of coalesced packets in
'csum_start' field and number of duplicated acks in 'csum_offset'
field and sets VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_RSC_INFO in 'flags' field.
