Ok.  I can split this out.

There is a slight problem with this.  This will force fragmentation of IPv6
traffic between VMs since UFO6 wouldn't be enabled on a destination device.
So, suddenly older VMs will see a performance regression for large UDPv6
traffic.

With this code, a legacy VM will continue to receive large UDPv6 traffic.
New VMs will have an updated virtio-net which will reset the gso type on input.

Yes, you are right...  I wonder how that worked.  I'll re-test.

Thanks
