With some vendors MAC hardware, there is a field in the descriptor to
indicate how big a VLAN tag the frame has. The hardware can then use
this information to skip over the VLAN tags to find the IP header, and
then perform checksuming. You might be able to re-use that, consider
the DSA header as part of the VLAN header.

Other vendors, there is no way i've found to get hadware offload of
checksumming working.
