For applications running on a mix of platforms it's useful to have a clear indication whether host's NIC supports the geometry requirements of TCP zero-copy. TCP zero-copy Rx requires data to be neatly placed into memory pages. Most NICs can't do that.
This patch is adding GET support only, since the NICs I work with either always have the feature enabled or enable it whenever MTU is set to jumbo. In other words I don't need SET. But adding set should be trivial. (The only note on SET is that we will likely want the setting to be "sticky" and use 0 / `unknown` to reset it back to driver default.)
