Today, the available API for a driver to pass packets up is netif_receive_skb/netif_rx. Our implementation coalesces pages, then gets a skb to point at the pages and passes it up to the stack. LRO in the core networking code would require adding methods to pass up data segments in addition to skbs. HW might also be able to assist LRO by identifying the session an incoming packet belongs to, thus avoiding the session lookup. The API should also allow for the driver to indicate such info.
