Nit : We could avoid the above line, if we always make sure
NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID is set in dev->mangleid_features
I thinks it makes a lot of sense. register_netdevice() could ensure such
 this constraint is respected; I'll add the following in the next
iteration and I will update the chunk here accordingly.

Thanks!

Paolo
