How about just handling it, URG isn't that hard.  If anyone is
bored you can do this for GRO as well.

tcp: Add GSO support for urgent data

When segmenting packets with urgent data we need to clear the
urgent flag/pointer once we move past the end of the urgent data.
This was not handled correctly in GSO or (presumably) in existing
hardware.

This patch adds a new GSO flag for TCP urgent data and also fixes
its handling in GSO.
