[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/tap: remove queue specific offload support

Hi Ferruh,
A quick feedback to your patch on top of next-net/master: the IP and TCP offloaded checksums are turned incorrect.

Detailed description
================
A traffic generator is sending to a dpdk device one TCP packet and expects to receive it back after the IP and TCP checksums have been calculated by TAP.

Testpmd parameters
=================
testpmd -c 0x0f -n 4 --vdev="net_tap0,iface=net_vsc0,remote=ens2" -w 0000:00:00.0 -- --burst=64 --mbcache=512 --portmask 0x1 -i --txd=256 --rxd=256 --rxq=1 --txq=1 --coremask 0x008  --forward-mode=csum  --eth-peer=0,00:15:5d:10:66:02

Testpmd CLI commands
===================
testpmd> port stop all
testpmd> csum set ip hw 0
testpmd> csum set tcp hw 0
testpmd> port start all
testpmd> start

On Traffic generator side
=====================
A traffic generator (scapy) is sending 1261 bytes of a TCP packet

Monitoring the traffic:

tcpdump -i <interface name> -envvv &

The tcpdump output shows the sent packet followed by the received packet. 
Please note the received packet has incorrect IP & TCP checksums (both are 0)

    127.0.0.1.1 > 127.0.0.1.1: Flags [S], cksum 0xdba5 (correct), seq 0:1207, win 8192, length 1207

    127.0.0.1.1 > 127.0.0.1.1: Flags [S], cksum 0x0000 (incorrect -> 0xdba5), seq 0:1207, win 8192, length 1207
