This patch set is meant to improve the performance and reliability of i40e
when it comes to performing TSO and Tx checksum offloads related to
tunnels.

I have tested it with a number of combinations of v4 over v6 and v6 over v4
for VXLANs.  With GRE I have only been able to test with v4 as the base as 
it appears that offloads are currently not supported for GRE over IPv6.
With this patch set I resolved a number of issues and I am now able to 
perform TSO for any of them as long as the outer UDP checksum is 0.  It 
should also now be supported if the outer checksum is enabled in the case 
of the XL722, though I cannot test it.

One additional item I have identified as an issue for the v2 patchset is
the fact that Rx checksums were not working for IPv6 based tunnels due to
the fact that the ports were not being registered.  From what I can tell
there was no reason for this so I have enabled IPv6 tunnels to register
their port numbers so that they can take full advantage of Rx offloads.

As far as testing this patch set I would recommend setting up a series of
tunnels between two endpointers.  For VXLAN both v4 and v6 based tunnels
can be used, with and without checksums.  For GRE a v4 tunnel can be used
with and without checksum.
