Hello!

Attached patch tries to improve performance of dummy device by activating NETIF_F_SG, NETIF_F_NO_CSUM, NETIF_F_HIGHDMA, NETIF_F_FRAGLIST,
NETIF_F_TSO and NETIF_F_LLTX.


Patch compiles and runs.

I tested the speed and seems very low (both old version and the new one).
Something like 37Mbits/s. It is normal?
I can easily get 80Mbit/s on the same machine on ethernet.

Thank you!
