Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 02/20] igb: remove rx checksum good counter

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

Counting packets with a good checksum can cause a significant amount of cache
line bouncing due to the shared counter being written to by all of the queues.
In order to avoid this I am removing the counter since we still have the
checksum failed counter which will tell us if there are any issues.
