Thomas, It's because we haven't gotten to testing the patch yet, and figuring out all the problems. Putting it in and modifying MBUF needs a bit of time - one other option that I've looked at is to let the transmit offload parts (except for the VLAN) flow onto the second cache line. That doesn't seem to have a performance hit at this point - since it's going to be populated before calling transmit anyway, it's cache hot. Have we thought of simply doing that instead of these changes that have net negative side effects in terms of mbuf mods?

So I understand everyone is OK with it and it can be applied in the git tree. I'll wait 1 day more. Feel free to comment or acknowledge. -- Thomas
