I don't think it's %100 right, I'm referring specifically to

e68a8c10c4c5daf363e946d10c1a5cba77d7f92c

Sure, qla3xxx is only handling ipv4 in that ql_hw_csum_setup()
function, but if you check the call site it really wants
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL skb's to work on.  And CHECKSUM_PARTIAL skbs are only
setup for paths that advertise the NETIF_F_HW_CSUM capability.

With Stephen's change it now won't checksum offload anything at all.

CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is used on xmit for both NETIF_F_HWCSUM and NETIF_F_IPCSUM 
See acenic, 3c59x, ...
