Dave Taht 2db6dc2662 sch_cake: Make gso-splitting configurable from userspace
This patch restores cake's deployed behavior at line rate to always
split gso, and makes gso splitting configurable from userspace.

running cake unlimited (unshaped) at 1gigE, local traffic:

no-split-gso bql limit: 131966
split-gso bql limit:   ~42392-45420

On this 4 stream test splitting gso apart results in halving the
observed interpacket latency at no loss in throughput.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
