We have some experimental patches to implement GRO for plain UDP

improvements. I would like to present these patches on netdev soon (no
sooner than next week, anyway).
Make sure you handle properly all netfilter helpers :(
Keeping frag_list means you keep one sk_buff per segment, so this really
looks like a legacy UDP server (like a DNS server) wont benefit from
this anyway.
