+  Add GRO support for VxLAN-tunneled packets. Supported VxLAN packets
+  must contain an outer IPv4 header and inner TCP/IPv4 headers. VxLAN
+  GRO doesn't check if input packets have correct checksums and doesn't
+  update checksums for output packets. Additionally, it assumes the
+  packets are complete (i.e., MF==0 && frag_off==0), when IP
+  fragmentation is possible (i.e., DF==0).
