[RFC PATCH] lro: ip fragment checking

[Jan-Bernd Themann <ossthema@de.ibm.com>]

Currently there is no checking in the LRO receive path whether
TCP packets are ip fragmented. We should not consider
those packets for aggregation.
I'm not sure if this checking is actually required. Does anyone
know if it is possible to get fragmented TCP packets without
the tcp stack changing the MSS size?
This patch introduces explicit checking. Any objections?

Regards,

Jan-Bernd
