It would barf for things like bridging where the packet gets spit out a
different interface. The bridge driver already has code to disable
txcsum so it could be made to handle that too.

This is part od TOE right?
I presume that it wouldn't coalesce packets that are not destined for the local
machine? would it coalesce in promiscuous mode? I guess it would only be
able to coalesce TCP packets that are adjacent in the same session.
Whether it also can coalesce adjacent packets that are destined for another
machine (for which it is not running the session) is not known... I would guess
it
wouldn't do it.
