Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 5/6] selftests: drv-net: gro: run the test against HW GRO and LRO
Run the test against HW GRO and LRO. NICs I have pass the base cases.
Interestingly all are happy to build GROs larger than 64k.
Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>

v2:
- apply the generic XDP hack selectively (print a msg when it happens)
- print ethtool -K (setting) output if any, output means that
kernel reported that something didn't go according to plan
(features we wanted were not actually enabled)
