We might simplify this further. Just reset the first two fields flags and gso_type.What's this "simplification" for? Don't even to say that we will add TSO support, which modifies few more files, such as csum_start: reseting the first two fields only is wrong here.
I know TSO before commenting, but at least in this implementation and this specific patch, i guess zeroing two fields are enough. What is wrong resetting only two fields?
