I'm not sure if you did it on purpose in commit aaa5d90b395a7
("net: use indirect call wrappers at GRO network layer").
Was that intentional for the sake of more optimized path for the
kernels with moduled IPv6, or I can replace INDIRECT_CALL_INET()
with INDIRECT_CALL_2() here too? I want to keep GRO callbacks that
make use of indirect call wrappers unified.
