Subject: [PATCH RFC 0/12] Remove UDP Fragmentation Offload support

This is an RFC patch series, based upon some discussions with
various developers, that removes UFO offloading.

Very few devices support this operation, it's usefullness is
quesitonable at best, and it adds a non-trivial amount of
complexity to our data paths.
