Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "ipv4: Make INET_LRO a bool instead of
 tristate."

This reverts commit e81963b180ac502fda0326edf059b1e29cdef1a2.

LRO is now deprecated in favour of GRO, and only a few drivers use it,
so it is desirable to build it as a module in distribution kernels.

The original change to prevent building it as a module was made in an
attempt to avoid the case where some dependents are set to y and some
to m, and INET_LRO can be set to m rather than y.  However, the
Kconfig system will reliably set INET_LRO=y in this case.

Dave,

You made the change I want to revert in response to
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/825646>.  The real problem
with its configuration is actually that CONFIG_INET is not set but
CONFIG_INET_LRO=m, and the fix is to make CONFIG_PASEMI_MAC depend on
CONFIG_INET.

Ben.
