Oops, typo. Yes, sure, will address in the next iteration.

With HZ >= 1000, gro_flush happens at most once per jiffies: we can
have much more than 64 packets per segment, with appropriate pkt len.

uhm.... 
AFAIU, we need to generated aggregated packets that UDP GSO is able to
process/segment. I was unable to get a nocsum packet segment (possibly
PEBKAC) so I enforced that condition on the rx path.

@Willem: did I see ghost here? is UDP_SEGMENT fine with no checksum
segment?

Thanks, will address in the next iteration.
