The #define for NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 was incorrect in the
documentation, fix it by making it match the actual code.

Virtual devices such as tunnels and bonding can handle large packets.
Only segment packets when reaching a physical or loopback device.

Introduce NETIF_F_GRO_HW feature flag for NICs that support hardware
GRO. With this flag, we can now independently turn on or off hardware
GRO when GRO is on. Previously, drivers were using NETIF_F_GRO to
control hardware GRO and so it cannot be independently turned on or
off without affecting GRO.
Hardware GRO (just like GRO) guarantees that packets can be re-segmented
by TSO/GSO to reconstruct the original packet stream. Logically,
GRO_HW should depend on GRO since it a subset, but we will let
individual drivers enforce this dependency as they see fit.
Since NETIF_F_GRO is not propagated between upper and lower devices,
NETIF_F_GRO_HW should follow suit since it is a subset of GRO. In other
words, a lower device can independent have GRO/GRO_HW enabled or disabled
and no feature propagation is required. This will preserve the current
GRO behavior. This can be changed later if we decide to propagate GRO/
GRO_HW/RXCSUM from upper to lower devices.

No more users in the tree, remove NETDEV_TX_LOCKED support.
Adds another hole in softnet_stats struct, but better than keeping
the unused collision counter around.

This flag requests that network devices pass all
received frames up the stack, even ones with errors
such as invalid FCS (frame check sum). This will
allow sniffers to see bad packets and perhaps
give the user some idea how to fix the problem.

When set on hardware that supports the feature,
this causes the Ethernet FCS to be appended
to the end of the skb.
Useful for sniffing packets.
