Paul Durrant says:

====================
make skb_checksum_setup generally available

Both xen-netfront and xen-netback need to be able to set up the partial
checksum offset of an skb and may also need to recalculate the pseudo-
header checksum in the process. This functionality is currently private
and duplicated between the two drivers.

Patch #1 of this series moves the implementation into the core network code
as there is nothing xen-specific about it and it is potentially useful to
any network driver.
Patch #2 removes the private implementation from netback.
Patch #3 removes the private implementation from netfront.

v2:
- Put skb_checksum_setup in skbuff.c rather than dev.c
- remove inline
