Description Herbert Xu 2008-09-10 20:33:48 EDT

Created attachment 316378 [details]
net: Enable TSO if supported by at least one device

This patch is needed to allow host => guest traffic to use TSO when the host physical interface does not support TSO itself.  Not a problem for RHEL5 Xen but is a problem for virtio and later versions of Xen.
