> 
> Partial generic segmentation offload is a hybrid between TSO and GSO.
> What is effectively does is take advantage of certain traits of TCP and
> tunnels so that instead of having to rewrite the packet headers for each
> segment only in the inner-most transport header and possible the outer-
> most
> network header need to be updated.
> This allows devices that do not support tunnel offload or tunnels
> offloads with checksum to still make use of segmentation.
