I believe it crashes, but cannot say with 100% certainty. I can
test later on if needed. Based on earlier experiment, the only way to
avoid the crash was to turn off gro on gre1.

In any case I don't think it should make any effect, since the GRE
packets arrive IPseced. eth0 is receiving ESP packets - and I believe
there's no ESP GRO support. Only after decryption they go to gre1, so
gre1 gro is basically the place where received packets are coalesced.
