Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/10] udp: add gso support to virtual devices

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>

Virtual devices such as tunnels and bonding can handle large packets.
Only segment packets when reaching a physical or loopback device.

 NETIF_F_TSO_ECN means that hardware can properly split packets with CWR bit
 set, be it TCPv4 (when NETIF_F_TSO is enabled) or TCPv6 (NETIF_F_TSO6).

+NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_GSO_L4 accepts a single UDP header with a payload that exceeds
+gso_size. On segmentation, it segments the payload on gso_size boundaries and
+replicates the network and UDP headers (fixing up the last one if less than
