This change is correct, since spec says that chip can not do
checksum calculation on transmitted UDP fragments. This change
is not backed out in HEAD.

The problem we observe now is broken checksum calculation on
incoming UDP fragments that appeared to be broken after we
turned on pseudo header calculation in the chip.
