All applied, thanks Ron, although one thing I think you should
get rid of:

65536 (defined by GSO_MAX_SIZE) is the default and it's really a good
idea to only use this override interface on chips that actaully have
restrictions and can't use the default.

I also don't see what this change had to do with adding TX
multiqueue support :-)  It wasn't mentioned in the commit log
message in any way either.  Please don't slip small things in
like this.
