I was a bit unclear - I meant the for LRO, only gso_size will be set
(while for GRO it will be set as well as the additional GRO fields)

I think we have a misunderstanding here - when LRO is on, our FW works in
TPA_MODE_LRO (LRO/GRO FW are mutually exclusive). In that mode, the bnx2x
driver will not try to 'fake' GRO packets in the same manner.
