I'm posting this as RFC to xen-devel before going to netdev to get feedback.
In patch 1 I've basically taken the latest checksum setup code from netback,
with all the recent fixes, and pushed it into net/core/dev.c (which seems
like the right home for such code). Patch 2 and 3 then just modify netback
and netfront to use the new code.

Does this look like a reasonable approach? I think it would be good to make
the checksum setup code available to all network drivers. There's nothing
Xen specific about it.
