From: Phil Hofer
The mvneta driver for Marvell 370 had TCP performance problems
over IPv6. (In my tests of 10s runs with 64kB packets, I got about
560Mbps on IPv6 and 950Mbps on IPv4.) After this patch, IPv6
performance jumps up to about 860Mbps.
This patch adds NETIF_F_CSUM_IPV6 to the list of
essed in a separate patch. I still haven't figured out why
that breaks the driver.

My apologies.
I have a follow-up on the way with some of Willy's suggested changes as well.

TCP performance over IPv6 was only about 60% of IPv4 performance. This
patch makes up most (but not all) of the difference.
