Actually I had tested it very breifly, but with Rx checksum offloads
still enabled.

Yeah, I realized that after I hit the BUG_ON in skb_checksum.

I'll be submitting a v2 in the morning with some tested code.  The only
difficult part is that I don't have any devices that generate
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.  I think if there is padding I will probably just
fall back to the CHECKSUM_NONE case since that seems to be what
IPv4/IPv6 does in their receive calls when they call pskb_trim_rcsum on
padded frames.

Thanks,

Alex
