The kernel needs to be at least 4.19-rc7 to include the commit
9d2f67e43b73 ("net/packet: fix packet drop as of virtio gso")
otherwise the TSO packets are dropped when using raw sockets.
Fixes: 29cf9c1b3b9c ("userspace: Add TCP Segmentation Offload support")

This fix is expected to be included in the 19.11.1 release. When OVS migrates
to this DPDK release, this limitation can be removed.
+All kernel devices that use the raw socket interface (veth, for example)
+require the kernel commit 9d2f67e43b73 ("net/packet: fix packet drop
+as of virtio gso") in order to work properly. This commit was merged
+in upstream kernel 4.19-rc7, so make sure your kernel is either
+newer or contains the backport.
