I am fine with the general idea of this patch but:
  1. Calling virtio_dev_info_get is needlessly wasteful when all you want
     is to access the max packet length. Since max_rx_pktlen is always
     VIRTIO_MAX_RX_PKTLEN, please just use that.

  2. Defining VLAN_TAG_SIZE is irrelevant if doing vlan offload.

  3. Virtio doesn't insert CRC, therefore CRC_LEN is irrelevant
