Ok, forget last thing I said on IRC about sfc, it is the only one
limiting the gso_max_segs, the others which supports GSO continues to do
so and use the default maximum of GSO_MAX_SEGS as defined on the patch.
Looks like only sfc indeed needs this and is affected, as it's my
understanding.

About the patch, if still pursuing this, I expect the following diff
should work for Lucid. I think I handled what's needed. I noticed
skb_gso_ok was used at dev_gso_segment()->skb_gso_segment(), so we
can't patch netif_needs_gso directly, and if we skb_gso_ok is used with
protocol code so we couldn't clear flags there (not sure if there would
be a side effect doing so).
