This will allow us to enable/disable having the Ethernet
frame checksum appended to the skb.  Enabling this is
useful when sniffing packets.

In particular, this can be used to test logic that allows
a NIC to receive all frames, even ones with bad checksums.
You want to silently run away from extending dev->features field? ;-)
