[PATCH] Allow TSO to be disabled for forcedeth driver

[Zachary Amsden]

TSO can cause performance problems in certain environments, and being 
able to turn it on or off is helpful for debugging network issues.  Most 
other network drivers that support TSO allow it to be toggled, so add 
this feature to forcedeth.  Tested by Harald Dunkel, who reported that 
this fixed his network performance issue with VMware.


Implement get / set tso for forcedeth driver.
