      net: Checksum offload changes - Part VI
      
      I am working on overhauling RX checksum offload. Goals of this effort
      are:
      
      - Specify what exactly it means when driver returns CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
      - Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE through encapsulation layers
      - Don't do skb_checksum more than once per packet
      - Unify GRO and non-GRO csum verification as much as possible
      - Unify the checksum functions (checksum_init)
      - Simplify code
      
      What is in this sixth patch set:
      
      - Clarify the specific requirements of devices returning
        CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY (comments in skbuff.h).
      - Add csum_level field to skbuff. This is used to express how
        many checksums are covered by CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY (stores n - 1).
      - Change __skb_checksum_validate_needed to "consume" each checksum
        as indicated by csum_level as layers of the the packet are parsed.
      - Remove skb_pop_rcv_encapsulation, no longer needed in the new
        csum_level model.
      - Allow GRO path to "consume" checksums provided in CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
        and to report new verfied checksums for use in normal path fallback.
      - Add proper support to SCTP to accept CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY to validate
        header CRC.
      - Modify drivers to set skb->csum_level instead of setting
        skb->encapsulation to indicate validation of an encapsulated
        checksum on receive.
      
      v2:
      
      Allocate a new 16 bits for flags in skbuff.
      
      Please review carefully and test if possible, mucking with basic
      checksum functions is always a little precarious :-)
