Looks good to me. And I have tested it. It works perfectly fine.

We are calling the checksum helper after the dma_map_single()
call to map the packet. This is incorrect as the checksumming
code will touch the packet from the CPU. This means the cache
won't be properly flushes (or the bounce buffering will leave
us with the unmodified packet to DMA).

This moves the calculation of the checksum & vlan tags to
before the DMA mapping.

This also has the side effect of fixing another bug: If the
checksum helper fails, we goto "drop" to drop the packet, which
will not unmap the DMA mapping.
