Additionally, since Gemini does not put NETIF_F_IP_CSUM | NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM
in vlan_features, DSA won't inherit (thus won't have) them. So,
validate_xmit_skb() should perform the skb checksum during the xmit on
the user port, which is earlier compared to the xmit on the conduit.
So, I guess skb->ip_summed should already be CHECKSUM_NONE here?
I think the only problem for DSA is the lack of the TSS_BYPASS_BIT. The
rest is unrelated.
