Set rx csum default to hw checksumming again.
Remove sysfs interface for rx csum (checksumming) and TSO (large_send).
With the new hw_features it does not work to keep the old sysfs
interface in parallel. Convert options.checksum_type to new hw_features.

For a certain Hipersockets specific error code in the xmit path, the
qeth driver tries to invoke dev_queue_xmit again.
Commit 79640a4ca6 introduces a busylock

This patch removes the attempts to retry packet sending with
dev_queue_xmit from the qeth driver.

This patch adds NAPI support to the qeth layer 2 and layer 3
discipline. It is important to understand that we can not enable/disable
IRQs as usual, we have to use the corresponding new QDIO interface.
Also to not overdraw the budget we have to stop and restart buffer
processing at any point during processing a bulk of QDIO buffers.
Having the driver NAPI enabled it is possible to turn on GRO for the
layer 3 discipline.
