[RFC] mark devices with broken LRO implementation

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>]

The kernel uses dev_disable_lro to disable Large Receive Offload
for cases where it is inappropriate. But several drivers do not implement
the required hook.  This is a "penalty box" patch to encourage those
drivers to add support for the necessary ethtool set_flags.

I only found three drivers that are broken. Normally, I would just fix
them; but since changing state in the device is hardware specific, and
I don't have the hardware or specs to do anything useful to fix it.
