Hi Alexander,

Hi,

I mark this as RFC, and there are the key questions for maintainers,
developers, users etc.:
- Do we need GRO support for DSA at all?
- Which tagger protocols really need it and which don't?
- Does this series bring any performance improvements on the
affected systems?

If these are these questions for maintainers, developers, users etc,
then what has determined you to make these changes?

The main reason was obviously pretty good results on a particular
hardware on which I developed this (and other) series and a general
opinion that GRO improves overall performance on most systems.
DSA is a special case though.

Thanks,
