[PATCH] veth: extend device features

From: Eric Dumazet <hidden>
Date: 2012-12-30 02:26:14
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

veth is lacking most modern facilities, like SG, checksums, TSO.

It makes sense to extend dev->features to get them, or GRO aggregation
is defeated by a forced segmentation.
