Log message:
Implement TCP send offloading, for now in software only. This is
meant as a fallback if network hardware does not support TSO. Driver
support is still work in progress. TCP output generates large
packets. In IP output the packet is chopped to TCP maximum segment
size. This reduces the CPU cycles used by pf. The regular output
could be assisted by hardware later, but pf route-to and IPsec needs
the software fallback in general.
For performance comparison or to workaround possible bugs, sysctl
net.inet.tcp.tso=0 disables the feature. netstat -s -p tcp shows
TSO counter with chopped and generated packets.
