It being there sets a bad precedent, and others are going to point at your driver when they try to add such a turd to their's.

And I also still want the myri10ge_lro module option removed regardless of whether you do a GRO conversion or not. If LRO/GRO causes a performance regression in some situation, we should fix it instead of papering over this junk with module options.
