When loading "nf_conntrack_ipv6" I run into issues.
When sending a fragmented UDP packet. With these patches, the IPVS
stack will no longer see the fragmented packets, but instead see one
large SKB. This will trigger a MTU path check in e.g.
ip_vs_dr_xmit_v6() and an ICMPv6 too big packet is send back.
IPVS: ip_vs_dr_xmit_v6(): frag needed
Perhaps we could change/fix the MTU check in IPVS?
(This would also solve issues I've seen with TSO/GSO frames, hitting
this code path).
