Looks like TSO does not support VLAN. Not sure about lro.

LRO because the bridge has to forward the real frames. TSO because it’s fairly useless now.
People found this worked in the past and it gets copied around. There is no reason to disable some of this. Bridge will automatically disable LRO and find the common set of other offloads. TSO is not useful for a bridged guest.
