Subject: [PATCH] ppp: enable TX scatter-gather
PPP channels using chan->direct_xmit prepend the PPP header to a skb and
call dev_queue_xmit() directly. In this mode the skb does not need to be
linear, but the PPP netdevice currently does not advertise
scatter-gather features, causing unnecessary linearization and
preventing GSO.
Enable NETIF_F_SG and NETIF_F_FRAGLIST on PPP devices. In case a linear
buffer is required (PPP compression, multilink, and channels without
direct_xmit), call skb_linearize() explicitly.
