Results is coming....
GSO works correctly for VLAN devices when
underlying device is Realtek NIC with 8139too driver.

Network tracepoint shows as following:

But, test case requires following two patches:
1. Fix broken vlan GSO setting

[PATCH 1/2] net: vlan: enable GSO by default
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/101714/

2. Fix my 8139too NIC driver that does not initial vlan_features.
