I also wonder why do we want to put this code in the legacy section
and use the legacy virtio_net_hdr as opposed to the new virtio_net_hdr_v1.

coding style says:
Descendants are always substantially shorter than the parent and
are placed substantially to the right.
placing a line to the left of ( doesn't count as substantially to the
right :)
Maybe start a new line at virtio_net_rsc_ext_num_dupacks.
Lack of documentation is also a problem.

Okay but this assumes specific usage. E.g. someone might want
an offset and not a pointer. Or have a struct instance on stack.
Given all above issues (and also header version issues
described above) I'm inclined to say macros are better:
#define virtio_net_rsc_ext_num_packets csum_start
#define virtio_net_rsc_ext_num_dupacks csum_offset
But please in any case also add documentation same as we have for
fields.
