Any reason why IP_CSUM was chosen instead of HW_CSUM? Doing the latter
would seem to be in fact easier for a virtual driver, no?
That, I really don't know.
Checksum offload was added late to the virtual transport and currently
not enough info is carried to identify protocol checksum fields in
arbitrary locations. When we rev the virtual interface, and include a
proper checksum-offset field, we'll be able to switch to
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
