I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with your idea.  After
all what you're describing is the basis of GSO, i.e., letting
data stay in the form of super-packets for as long as we can.

Of course there's going to be a lot of niggly bits that you'll
have to sort out to get it to work.

Good luck,
