This fix is for IPv6 checksum offload error on RHEL65.
Any optimalisation above -O0 provide error in IPv6 checksum
flag "-fstrict-aliasing" is default for optimalisation above -O0.
Step 1: testpmd -c 0x6 -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0x3 --disable-hw-vlan
--enable-rx-cksum --crc-strip --txqflags=0
Step 2: settings and start
set verbose 1
set fwd csum
start
Step 3: send scapy with bad checksum IPv6/TCP packet
Ether(src="52:00:00:00:00:00",
dst="90:e2:ba:4a:33:5d")/IPv6(src="::1")/TCP(chksum=0xf)/("X"*46)
Step 4: Received packets:
RESULTS: IPv6/TCP': ['0xd41'] or other unexpected.
EXPECTED RESULTS: IPv6/TCP': ['0x9f5e']
