Subject: [PATCH 3.2 94/94] Revert "alpha: fix broken network checksum"

3.2.58-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

This reverts commit b93b90ff7c50288d602108ae1a09673df3f799a8, which
was commit 0ef38d70d4118b2ce1a538d14357be5ff9dc2bbd upstream.
It was intended to fix a regression which never occurred in 3.2.
