Subject: [PATCH 1/2] aoe: mark AoE packets as requiring no checksumming

In order for the network layer to see that AoE requires
no checksumming in a generic way, packets should be marked
CHECKSUM_NONE.

Rather than relying on the current behavior of alloc_skb,
this change causes the aoe driver to explicitly mark its
packets as requiring no checksum.
