This is a good long-term plan, but right now we have to do something
reasonable.

A quick scan shows that smsc75xx, smsc95xx, and ax88179_178a all have
this problem.

Instead of the patch starting this thread, I'd like to see one that
hits all three drivers and removes all SG and TSO features bits from
both the ->features _and_ ->hw_features settings.

Could someone toss that together quickly?

Thanks.
