Fair enough, but as I just said that is exactly why it was named
'csum_not_inet' in the first place, so that it wouldn't have to change
if another method needs to be added.
But I guess your main point is that virtio can have a cleaner ABI and
skip this csum_not_inet case (which is only there because sk_buff
doesn't have as many bits as we would want), right?
