This change requires kernel changes that may not be compatible with 6.X, I
am not sure,
I am not the owner of that code.  Some reason you can't use 7.1 which will
have everything
you need?

TSO is a hardware feature, I have never tested this, but my suspicion is
that if
its enabled on the hardware that it will transparently happen in the
outbound
TX stream, but I am not sure.
