Hmmm, if qdisc_pkt_len(skb) is bigger than 65536, skb_is_gso(skb) is true,
it will go into tbf_segment(). If I am wrong, please point me out, thanks!

BTW, 65536 is suggested by Jesper, I'm a little uncertain about it. He is, too.
Do you or some other developers have stronger opinions on this?

Thanks!
