Thank you Kamalesh.

But since <net/ip6_checksum.h> compensate the lack of
`csum_ipv6_magic` function defined in <asm/checksum.h>
of some architecture, should <net/ip6_checksum.h> be
included in <net/checksum.h> as well?

BTW, if there is a patch against jme driver which I maintain,
and I just simply agree with it, should I silently noticed that
and let someone like Jeff or David to review/apply it,
or should I reply an ack of it?
