    ixgbe: Add support for generic Tx checksums · 49763de0

    This patch adds support for generic Tx checksums to the ixgbe driver.  It
    turns out this is actually pretty easy after going over the datasheet as we
    were doing a number of steps we didn't need to.
    
    In order to perform a Tx checksum for an L4 header we need to fill in the
    following fields in the Tx descriptor:
      MACLEN (maximum of 127), retrieved from:
    		skb_network_offset()
      IPLEN  (maximum of 511), retrieved from:
    		skb_checksum_start_offset() - skb_network_offset()
      TUCMD.L4T indicates offset and if checksum or crc32c, based on:
    		skb->csum_offset
    
    The added advantage to doing this is that we can support inner checksum
    offloads for tunnels and MPLS while still being able to transparently
    insert VLAN tags.
    
    I also took the opportunity to clean-up many of the feature flag
    configuration bits to make them a bit more consistent between drivers.
