Subject: [PATCH 0/2] do not disable sg when packet requires no checksum

This two-part patchset replaces an earlier net-only patch that
added an explicit check for the AoE protocol to harmonize_features
in net/core/dev.c.

Following the suggestion of Ben Hutchings, this patchset makes
the decision in the network layer protocol agnostic instead of
using ETH_P_AOE as a special case.

Ed L. Cashin (2):
  aoe: mark AoE packets as requiring no checksumming
  net: do not disable sg for packets requiring no checksum
