In v3 we discussed how the flush on network layer differences (like
TTL or ToS) currently only affect the TCP GRO path, but should apply
more broadly.
We agreed that it is fine to leave that to a separate patch series.
But seeing this patch, it introduces a lot of churn, but also makes
it harder to address that issue for UDP, as it now moves network
layer checks directly to the TCP code.
