Subject: TX offloads for NVGRE (OVS GRE with inner protocol being TEB)

Hi,

It seems that the OVS GRE code lacks handling of offloads (e.g to come 
into play with NICs that support NVGRE).

I assume we need to place a call to iptunnel_handle_offloads before 
invoking iptunnel_xmit, agree? so ~the quick patch below should do the 
work? I wasn't sure how to set the value of the 2nd param for 
iptunnel_handle_offloads().


Or.
