Icmp packets with wrong checksum are never dropped since
skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
When icmp packets with wrong checksum pass through the octeon
net driver, the not_IP, IP_exc, L4_error hardware indicators
show no error. so the driver sets CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on
skb->ip_summed.
L4_error only works for TCP/UDP, not for ICMP.

We found the same problem, but have not yet sent the patch to fix it.
This looks fine to me,

I would let davem, Ralf and Greg KH fight over who gets to merge it.
