So I applied these two patches for now to net-next-2.6
but in the long term I think it's probably better to convert
this driver to GRO as we're trying to get rid of LRO and
GRO handles forwarding and all of that stuff transparently.

And I also still want the myri10ge_lro module option removed
regardless of whether you do a GRO conversion or not.

If LRO/GRO causes a performance regression in some situation,
we should fix it instead of papering over this junk with
module options.

Thanks.
