I don't understand this part of the code. The 55x docs say that the IP
checksum bytes are transferred to memory _following_ the FCS.

I can't find this in the docs, but it could easily be true.  If you have a page/section
number, please let me know.

Section 6.4.3.4.1, page 102 if you go by the document page numbers or page
110 if you go by xpdf's page numbers.

I don't appear to have hardware that takes this
branch at any rate.  Anyone know which chipset/NIC has this particular rev-id?

The i82559. I wouldn't mind a few comment lines that map Intel's internal
names like D101M, D102 etc. into externally visible part numbers.

Also, this should invalidate all of the hacks from the e100_D101M_checksum code...

I guess it does if you skb_put() the FCS along with the payload. I haven't
checked that, but I think you're right.
