This is now possible with updated firmware.

Nice, applied.

Quick question, in the intermediate step where we have the
new firmware (patch #3) but not this change applied (patch
#4) does TSO still work properly?

If TSO is bolixed after patch #3 but before patch #4 please
don't create those kinds of non-bisectable situations in
the future.  I'd rather you do the firmware update and the
TSO logic changes all in one go to keep it all working.

Thanks!

It will still work.  The firmware will overwrite the header fields
modified (unnecessarily) by the driver.
