Lorenzo,

This isn't sufficient for the checksum-unnecessary interface, we'd
also need ability to set csum_level for cases the device validated
more than one checksum.

IMO, we shouldn't support CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for new uses like this.
For years now, the Linux community has been pleading with vendors to
provide CHECKSUM_COMPLETE which is far more useful and robust than
CHECSUM_UNNECESSARY, and yet some still haven't got with the program
even though we see more and more instances where CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
doesn't even work at all (e.g. cases with SRv6, new encaps device
doesn't understand). I believe it's time to take a stand! :-)
