I have a patch that implements the comparison between dsts. For

You guys really want to kill GRO performance.

Really the aggregation should happen at the first layer (ethernet
device), instead of doing it after tunnel decap.

This is already done for GRE, IPIP, SIT, ...

GRO having to access metadata looks wrong, if you think about trying to
do the same function in hardware (offload)
