Subject: [RFC PATCH 10/28] gro: prevent ACE field corruption & better AccECN handling

From: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@...helsinki.fi>

There are important differences in how the CWR field behaves
in RFC3168 and AccECN.

Thus, it is better to never let anything to receive
a mixed-CWR skb. Set the Accurate ECN GSO flag to
avoid corrupting CWR bits somewhere.
