I've couple of comments on the driver, but mainly the fact of decreased
CPU usage itself - what was the magnitude of the win with this driver,
it looks like because of per-packet receive code path invocation is the
place of the latency...
Your implementation looks generic enough to be used by any driver, don't
you want to push it separately from eHEA driver?

We can try to come up with a generic file with these helperfunctions.
What do you think about putting them into /net/ipv4/inet_lro.c and 
/include/linux/inet_lro.h ?

The more I think, the more it looks as appropriate to be used by all hardware
drivers with proper API. As far as I recall this is third implementation
in the linux drivers :)
