It is the reverse - GSO will segment one super-packet just before calling

GSO will not help for small packets.
If there are small packets that implies small sends, which suggests that
they would be coalesced either implicitly by the Nagle algorithm or
explicitly with TCP_CORK no?

May be for TCP? What about other protocols?
There are other protocols?-) True, UDP, and I suppose certain modes of SCTP
might be sending streams of small packets, as might TCP with TCP_NODELAY set.
Do they often queue-up outside the driver?
