While hardware device use either NETIF_F_(IP|IPV6)_CSUM or NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, all of the software devices use HW_CSUM. This results in an interesting situation when the software device is configured on top of hw device using (IP|IPV6)_CSUM. In this situation, the user can't turn off checksum offloading features on the software device.
This patch resolves that by prefering the NETIF_F_HW_CSUM setting when computing a feature intersect.
