few quick comments

not all mlx4 devices support offloading checksum for tunneled traffic, 
only ConnectX3-pro -- this translates for the mlx4 EN driver
logic that determines that on startup, e.g only when 
mdev->dev->caps.tunnel_offload_mode == MLX4_TUNNEL_OFFLOAD_MODE_VXLAN
we set hw_enc_features and friends -- in that respect, I wasn't sure if 
it's okay to blindly set  .encap_oka = 1 here.

Another constraint, is that when the device does support (say) TCP TX 
checksum offload for the inner packet they don't support UDP
checksum offload for the outer packet.
