[RFC,v6,2/3] virtio-net rsc: support coalescing ipv6 tcp traffic

From: Wei Xu <wexu@redhat.com>

Most stuffs are like ipv4 2 differences between ipv4 and ipv6.

1. Fragment length in ipv4 header includes itself, while it's not
included for ipv6, thus means ipv6 can carry a real '65535' payload.

2. IPv6 header does not need calculate header checksum.

Same issue as ipv4, looks not safe if you analyze header before doing 
sanity check.
