This patchset enables TCP checksum offload support for IPV4
on ibmveth. This completely eliminates the generation and checking of
the checksum for packets that are completely virtual and never
touch a physical network. A simple TCP_STREAM netperf run on
a virtual network with maximum mtu set yielded a ~30% increase
in throughput. This feature is enabled by default on systems that
support it, but can be disabled with a module option.

ACK, but does not apply to current netdev-2.6.git#upstream-fixes.
Request resend after the ibmveth fixes hit mainline (24 hours or so
after push, I suppose)
