Something along these lines...? It's not that trivial though to get
full MSS worth of contiguous area if SACK is enabled though, unless we
make it include already sacked areas too.

[PATCH not-now :-)] tcp: collapse more than two on retransmission
I always had thought that collapsing up to two at a time was
intentional decision to avoid excessive processing if 1 byte
sized skbs are to be combined for a full mtu, and consecutive
retransmissions would make the size of the retransmittee
double each round anyway.
tcp_skb_is_last check is now provided by the loop.
I tried to make the order of tests bit more sensible to make
it break earlier for things which seem more common case
(in favor of TSO and SG, though latter is a restriction which
could be made less strict I think).
Barely compile tested.
