What version of the myri10ge driver is this?  With the 1.2.0 version
that comes with the 2.6.20.7 kernel, there is no myri10ge_lro module
parameter.

[root@...g2 ~]# modinfo myri10ge | grep -i lro
[root@...g2 ~]# 

And I've been testing IP forwarding using two Myricom 10-GigE NICs
without setting any special modprobe parameters.
