This is better.
There is still a possiblity when a device allows IPV6 and not IPV4
checksumming, that the checksum will be done in the fixup code in
dev_queue_xmit.
The existing model for checksum offload does not correctly handle
devices that can offload IPV4 and IPV6 only. The NETIF_F_HW_CSUM f

Here is a proposed change to address hardware that can do IPV6 checksum
offload, but doesn't truly do generic hw checksumming. The bnx2 and tg3
are like this for some revisions, and upcoming Marvell 88e8071 is similar.
