... but it seems that those three are the only affected callers
of skb_gso_segment (tbf is ok since skb isn't owned by anyone,
ovs does save/restore already).

I think this patch is the right way, we just need similar
save/restore in nfqnl_enqueue_packet and xfrm_output_gso().

The latter two can be used by either ipv4 or ipv6 so it might
be preferable to just save/restore sizeof(struct skb_gso_cb);
or a union of inet_skb_parm+inet6_skb_parm.

Cascardo, can you cook a patch?

Thanks!
