When used with vhost kernel backend, we can offload at both directions.
- From vhost kernel to virtio_user, the offload is enabled so that
DPDK app can trust the flow is checksum-correct; and if DPDK app
sends it through another port, the checksum needs to be
recalculated or offloaded. It also applies to TSO.
- From virtio_user to vhost_kernel, the offload is enabled so that
kernel can trust the flow is L4-checksum-correct, no need to verify
it; if kernel will consume it, DPDK app should make sure the
l3-checksum is correctly set.
