This, effectively, "enables" LRO on loopback.

And sure it's pretty obscure to shape, NAT, and end up forwarding
loopback received packets, but do you want to be the user trying to do
something like that and trying to find this particular patch which is
causing it to not work? :-)

I really don't know whether it's worth worrying about, I just wanted
to mention it.

Well the same code path is also used by Xen and virtio (apart
from the netfilter bits which caused this particular bug), so
we should be pretty safe here.
