Adding IPv6 for the TSO helper API is trivial:
* Don't play with the id (which doesn't exist in IPv6)
* Correctly update the payload_len (don't include the
length of the IP header itself)

The crafted header start address is from a driver supplied buffer, which
one can reasonably expect to be aligned on a 4-bytes boundary.
However ATM the TSO helper API is only used by ethernet drivers and
the tcp header will then be aligned to a 2-bytes only boundary from the
header start address.

Although the implementation probably needs a lot of work, this initial API
allows to implement software TSO in mvneta and mv643xx_eth drivers in a not
so intrusive way.
