mainlining shenanigans

The hardware offloading of the NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_RXCSUM
features requires the use of Transmit Status Blocks before transmit
frame data and Receive Status Blocks before receive frame data to
carry the checksum information.
Unfortunately, these status blocks are currently only enabled when
the NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature is enabled. As a result NETIF_F_RXCSUM
will not actually be offloaded to the hardware unless both it and
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM are enabled. Fortunately, that is the default
configuration.
This commit addresses this issue by always enabling the use of
status blocks on both transmit and receive frames. Further, it
replaces the use of a dedicated flag within the driver private
data structure with direct use of the netdev features flags.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
