Hang on, this only gets rid of half the hack.  Let me change this
first so that we can get rid of them all :)

Hi Dave:

[NET]: Allow partial checksums to be forwarded

Right now Xen has a horrible hack that lets it forward packets with
partial checksums.  One of the reasons that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL was added
is so that we can get rid of this hack (where it creates an extra bit
in the skbuff to essentially mirror ip_summed without being destroyed
by the forwarding code).

So here is the patch that lets us get rid of the hack by preserving
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL on forwarded packets.

Looks okay.
