Yes, correct, current ice HW cannot produce complete checksum,
so only CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for known protocols, CHECKSUM_NONE otherwise,
nothing to initialize csum_info with in either case.

xdp_csum_info is initialized in veth implementation though, but only 
csum_start/offset, so complete XDP checksum has no users in this patchset.
Is this a problem?

In previous version I had CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY-only kfunc, but I think everyone 
has agreed, csum hint kfunc should give more comprehensive output.
