There are many offload capabilities defined that are not well thought
out. In particular we do not distinguish between ipv4 and ipv6 for
things like cksum and tso so there's no way to disable individual
features. The ability to tweak LRO is clearly needed and clearly belong
as an ifnet capability but unilateraly deciding this is the wrong approach.
