Don't have a packet capture, but I also noticed that this commit caused
failures; symptom for me was broken squid traffic to websites using CDNs
(arstechnica, twitter) and/or DNS, probably related to mixed IPv4/v6
traffic. See my followup to last week's 3.8.13-stable announcement, which
was apparently not dramatic enough to warrant attention.

I later found out that this regression is related to tx offloading;
enabling rx & gso offloading still works. Reverting the patch restores tx
offloading as well.
