Why not something simpler using skb_checksum_help which is
safer since it handles case of shared skb correctly.

	if (skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_COMPLETE &&
            skb->len < PCH_GBE_SHORT_PKT) {
		frame_ctrl |=
			PCH_GBE_TXD_CTRL_APAD | PCH_GBE_TXD_CTRL_TCPIP_ACC_OFF;
		skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE;
                if (skb_checksum_help(skb))
                      goto drop;  /* could not expand header to find space */
        }
