Check that you have not got TX offloads disabled in your port configuration. If
you pass in NULL for the rte_eth_txconf pointer on tx queue setup, then offloads
will be disabled. To get offloads such as checksums to work, you need to explicitly
set the flags to allow them. (Generally, this means just setting txqflags to 0)
