Let's merge both discussions into one thread (pick here or there). We have 
this suggestion or the one which simply checks for tunnels and inner+outer 
header lengths. Do you have a preference between them?

We could introduce an "skb_is_gso_encap()" or similar for this purpose. 
Checking for SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL or SKB_GSO_GRE is pretty closely tied to what 
fm10k_tx_encap_offload() checks for though; it might not even make sense to call 
it if some of the other SKB_GSO_* flags are raised.
