Ben,

I agree on removing it asap, but I also like to see GRO support
in. Maybe, we postpone lro removal just a little bit. I have just
started to look at mv643xx_eth and remember Marvell Orion SoCs are
not the only platform using it. I haven't heard a single word from
ppc guys, yet.

Willy just posted an experimental patch to remove lro. I'll have
a look at it and test it out on Dove.
