Does the ixl driver have an issue with TSO/LRO?

If I tcpdump on the receiver when testing the 10G ix interfaces, I see =
that most "packets" are up to 64KB in the traces on both sender and =
receiver, which is expected with TSO/LRO.

When I look at the traffic over the ixl interfaces, I see that most =
"packets" on the sender are much smaller (~2896 aka 2 segments; although =
some few are >40K). On the receiver, I only see 1448 byte packets.
