Description
It would help with testing if simnet could present the full IPv6 hardware checksum capab: HCKSUM_INET_FULL_V6.
This would provide useful in testing things like mac-loopback IPv6 checksum emulation. Currently today only a few drivers actually export this capab. If we added this to simnet we should be able to exercise/verify this mac-loopback emulation via usr/src/test/net-tests, much like we do for IPv4 today, without the requirement of actual hardware. This is relevant as Robert has been in the process of getting IPv6 checksum/TSO wired up in more places
