Subject: [PATCH 4/4] lguest: Use GSO/IFF_VNET_HDR extensions on tun/tap

(Might not apply cleanly to current Linus, there are other lguest things
 going on, but this gives you the idea at least).

Guest -> Host 1GB TCP:
Before: Seconds 16.6282 xmit 250498 recv 3 timeout 248355
After: Seconds 9.86102 xmit 241989 recv 192014 timeout 231224

Host -> Guest 1GB TCP:
Before: Seconds 11.0831 xmit 324742 recv 1910 timeout 323429
After: Seconds 10.6626 xmit 342489 recv 24 timeout 341173
