[Cake] CAKE upstreaming - testers wanted, ACK filtering rescuers needed

For those who have not been following the discussion on the upstreaming
patches, here's an update:
- I've just pushed patches to only split GSO packets when shaping below
one gigabit; and hopefully made the overhead compensation code deal
gracefully with GSO packets if someone for some reason wants to use
the shaper at speeds higher than that and still use the overhead
compensation code.
- It turns out that the ACK filtering code does not properly sanity
check the packet sizes, and so can potentially crash the box running
CAKE if it receives malformed packets. So if no one steps up to fix
that within the next few days, or I'll submit the next version without
it (I'm not going to open that particular can of worms)... This
doesn't mean it can't be added back later, of course, it just means it
won't go upstream this time around.
- NAT mode is now enabled by default; doesn't seem to be a good reason
not to as the compile time dependency already makes the module depend
on conntrack.
So please do test the current git version (cobalt branch, still). I'm
planning to resubmit on Friday.
