Please we need more reviews for this patch.
I'll update the patch and post a v2.

TX checksum of a tunnelled packet can be calculated for outer headers only or for both outer and inner parts. The calculation method is determined by application. If TX checksum calculation can be offloaded, hardware ignores existing checksum value and replaces it with an updated result. If TX checksum is calculated by a software, existing value must be zeroed first. The testpmd checksum forwarding engine always zeroed innerchecksums.quoted
If inner checksum calculation was offloaded, that header was left with 0 checksum value. Following outer software checksum calculation produced wrong value. The patch zeroes inner IPv4 checksum only before software calculation.
