    The MAPv4 packet format adds support for RX / TX checksum offload.
    For a bi-directional UDP stream at a rate of 570 / 146 Mbps, roughly
    10% CPU cycles are saved.
    
    For receive path, there is a checksum trailer appended to the end of
    the MAP packet. The valid field indicates if hardware has computed
    the checksum. csum_start_offset indicates the offset from the start
    of the IP header from which hardware has computed checksum.
    csum_length is the number of bytes over which the checksum was
    computed and the resulting value is csum_value.
    
    In the transmit path, a header is appended between the end of the MAP
    header and the start of the IP packet. csum_start_offset is the offset
    in bytes from which hardware will compute the checksum if the
    csum_enabled bit is set. udp_ip4_ind indicates if the checksum
    value of 0 is valid or not. csum_insert_offset is the offset from the
    csum_start_offset where hardware will insert the computed checksum.
    
    The use of this additional packet format for checksum offload is
    explained in subsequent patches.
