Subject: [PATCH] mlx4_en: add UFO support

Mellanox Ethernet adapters support Large Segmentation Offload for UDP
packets. The only change needed is using the proper header size when the
packet is UDP instead of TCP.

This significantly increases performance for large UDP packets on
platforms which have an expensive dma_map call, like pseries.

On a simple test with 64000 payload size, throughput has increased from
about 6Gbps to 9.5Gbps, while CPU use dropped from about 600% to about
80% or less, on a 8-core Power7 machine.
