 The libertas driver sets {{{skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY}}} on
 all incoming packets. This is probably a lie -- the best the firmware is
 going to be doing, at a guess, is checking checksums on IPv4 and IPv6
 packets.

 We need to know precisely what the firmware _does_ checksum. And ideally
 it'd just give us the checksum so we can store that and
 {{{CHECKSUM_COMPLETE}}} in the incoming skbs, which allows the "hardware"
 checksumming to be used with _any_ protocol.
