There are a few ways we can send packets that are too large to a

When non-GSO packets are forwarded, we validate their size, based on
the MTU of the destination device. However, when GSO packets are
forwarded, we do not validate their size. We implicitly assume that
when they are segmented, the resultant packets will be correctly
sized.

Patchset LGTM, but I also think it's risky merging this one in by now.
