The GRO test takes extra time on NICs which support HW-GRO and LRO (as it also runs the test cases against the NIC implementation). gro.py takes 6min on bnxt and 10min on mlx5 with debug kernel builds.
10m works for xdp.py but it seems that it isn't enough for gro.py :(

The delta between drivers is to some extent due to their defaults (mlx5 sillily defaults to queue-per-thread, while bnxt follows netif_get_num_default_rss_queues()). At the end of the day the defaults don't matter much - on larger machines all drivers will create more queues. We should bump the timeout. Let's give ourselves a 50% margin over mlx5's needs and set the timeout to 15min.
