This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth.
This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum
for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical
network.  A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput
improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used.

This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum
offload.  When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate
IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what
is available.  As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported
and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled.
The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which
checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware.

Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4
or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum
disabled or enabled.

While porting GRO to r8169, I found this driver has a bug in its rx
path.

All skbs given to network stack had their ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE, while hardware said they had correct TCP/UDP checksums.

The reason is driver sets skb->ip_summed on the original skb before the
copy eventually done by copybreak. The fresh skb gets the ip_summed =
CHECKSUM_NONE value, forcing network stack to recompute checksum, and
preventing my GRO patch to work.

Fix is to make the ip_summed setting after skb copy.

Note : rx_copybreak current value is 16383, so all frames are copied...

The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while
forwarding, i.e. configured as router.

This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto
configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the
current behavior to be overwritten.

Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the "if forwarding
enabled then don't listen to RAs" rule by setting accept_ra to the
special value of 2.

An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether
and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I
found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to
strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so
if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.
