Sorry, didn't get you here.
Are you talking about our discussion should PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM and PKT_TX_IPV4 be mutually exclusive or not?

In that mail, I was talking about my suggestion to make  PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM, PKT_TX_IPV4 and PKT_TX_IPV6 to occupy 2 bits.
Something like:
#define	PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM	(1 << X)
#define	PKT_TX_IPV6		(2 << X)
#define 	PKT_TX_IPV4		(3 << X)

"Even better, if we can squeeze these 3 flags into 2 bits.
Would save us 2 bits, plus might be handy, as in the PMD you can do:

switch (ol_flags & TX_L3_MASK) {
    case TX_IPV4:
       ...
       break;
    case TX_IPV6:
       ...
       break;
    case TX_IP_CKSUM:
       ...
       break;
}"

As you pointed out, it will break backward compatibility.
I agreed with that and self-NACKed it.
