VM to VM GSO traffic is broken if it goes through VXLAN or GRE
tunnel and the physical NIC on the host supports hardware VXLAN/GRE
GSO offload (e.g. bnx2x and next-gen mlx4).
Two issues -
(VXLAN) VM traffic has SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL with
SKB_GSO_TCP/UDP set depending on the inner protocol. GSO header
integrity check fails in udp4_ufo_fragment if inner protocol is
TCP. Also gso_segs is calculated incorrectly using skb->len that
includes tunnel header. Fix: robust check should only be applied
to the inner packet.
(VXLAN & GRE) Once GSO header integrity check passes, NULL segs
is returned and the original skb is sent to hardware. However the
tunnel header is already pulled. Fix: tunnel header needs to be
restored so that hardware can perform GSO properly on the original
packet.

Now inet_gso_segment() is stackable, its relatively easy to
implement GSO/TSO support for IPIP
Performance results, when segmentation is done after tunnel
device (as no NIC is yet enabled for TSO IPIP support) :

This change makes it so that the GRE and VXLAN tunnels can make use of Tx
checksum offload support provided by some drivers via the hw_enc_features.
Without this fix enabling GSO means sacrificing Tx checksum offload and
this actually leads to a performance regression as shown below:
Utilization
Send
Throughput local GSO
10^6bits/s % S state
6276.51 8.39 enabled
7123.52 8.42 disabled
To resolve this it was necessary to address two items. First
netif_skb_features needed to be updated so that it would correctly handle
the Trans Ether Bridging protocol without impacting the need to check for
Q-in-Q tagging. To do this it was necessary to update harmonize_features
so that it used skb_network_protocol instead of just using the outer
protocol.
Second it was necessary to update the GRE and UDP tunnel segmentation
offloads so that they would reset the encapsulation bit and inner header
offsets after the offload was complete.
As a result of this change I have seen the following results on a interface
with Tx checksum enabled for encapsulated frames:
Utilization
Send
Throughput local GSO
10^6bits/s % S state
7123.52 8.42 disabled
8321.75 5.43 enabled
v2: Instead of replacing refrence to skb->protocol with
skb_network_protocol just replace the protocol reference in
harmonize_features to allow for double VLAN tag checks.

The GRE conflict is between a bug fix (kfree_skb --> kfree_skb_list)
and the splitting of the gre.c code into seperate files.
The FEC conflict was two sets of changes adding ethtool support code
in an "!CONFIG_M5272" CPP protected block.
Finally the sh_eth.c conflict was between one commit add bits set
in the .eesr_err_check mask whilst another commit removed the
.tx_error_check member and assignments.

Similarly to TCP/UDP offloading, move all related GRE functions to
gre_offload.c to make things more explicit and similar to the rest
of the code.
