Michael Chan 52c0fd834e [TG3]: Add TSO workaround using GSO ...

Use GSO to workaround a rare TSO bug on some chips.  This hardware
bug may be triggered when the TSO header size is greater than 80
bytes.  When this condition is detected in a TSO packet, the driver
will use GSO to segment the packet to workaround the hardware bug.

Thanks to Juergen Kreileder <jk@blackdown.de> for reporting the
problem and collecting traces to help debug the problem.

And thanks to Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> for providing
the GSO mechanism that happens to be the perfect workaround for this
problem.
