qeth: add layer 2 RX/TX checksum offloading
Checksum offloading for send and receive is already supported for layer 3 (IP layer). This patch adds support for RX and TX hardware checksum offloading for layer 2 (MAC layer). The hardware calculates the checksum for IP UDP and TCP packets. This patch moves the hardware checksum offloading setup to the set of common functions in qeth_core_main.c. Layer 2 and layer 3 now simply call the same common functions. Also note that TX checksum offloading is always enabled. The device driver relies on the TCP/IP stack to make use of this feature.
