The features handling has been reworked in net-next and patches like this 
won't apply as the code you're patching has changed.  Also core code now 
does a lot of the related work and you'll need to tell it what to do with 
any new flags.

What properties does a device or driver need to meet to set this flag?  It 
seems to be set a bit too unconditionally.  For example, does it work if one 
disables scatter/gather?
