[PATCH v5 06/10] net/rtap: add checksum and TSO offload support

[Stephen Hemminger]

Add transmit and receive offload support using the virtio-net header
that is exchanged with the kernel TAP device.

Tx offloads:
  - UDP and TCP checksum offload: set VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM
    with appropriate csum_start and csum_offset fields
  - TCP segmentation offload (TSO): set gso_type and gso_size

Rx offloads:
  - Parse virtio-net header flags to determine checksum status
  - Handle NEEDS_CSUM by either marking L4_CKSUM_NONE for known
    protocols or computing the checksum in software for tunnels
  - Handle DATA_VALID flag to mark L4_CKSUM_GOOD
  - Parse GSO headers to populate LRO metadata

Configure kernel-side offloads via TUNSETOFFLOAD in dev_configure
based on the requested rx offload flags.

Report offload capabilities in dev_info.
