Zero Copy TCP/Hardware Checksum

Zero copy TCP/hardware checksum functionality can be used to increase TCP throughput in certain situations. It does so by avoiding the copying of data and by using hardware checksum logic in the network interface when available. Currently, the only network interface that contains the hardware checksum logic is the SunATM 622 interface.
