Hi,

The impetus for this series of patches is Julian Anastasov noting
that "load balance IPv4 connections from a local process" checks
for 0 TCP checksums. Herbert Xu confirmed that this is not legal,
even on loopback traffic, but that rather partial checksums are
possible.

The first patch in this series is a proposed solution to handle
partial checksums for both TCP and UDP.

The other two patches clean things up a bit.

I have not tested this code beyond compilation yet.
