At least some versions of the via-velocity hardware only support
checksumming IPv4 frames in hardware. However, the driver is currently
setting the NETIF_F_HW_CSUM flag, which indicates support for more than
just IPv4. This results in errors when trying to use IPv6 over
via-velocity hardware.

This could be applied to the 'upstream-fixes' branch of netdev-2.6.

IP_CSUM means something different than simply "ipv4-only". It also
means that the hardware is quite dumb, and can only say "checksum ok"
rather than "here is the checksum."
Since IP_CSUM means the latter, surely you need more code than just this?
