As an improvement to the above example, here's a valid IPv4/UDP packet
with IPv4 header checksum resulting in 0x0000 (IPv4 identification
chosen accordingly):

> 0000 45 00 00 20 96 cb 00 00   10 11 00 00 0a 00 00 01
> 0010 0a 00 00 02 01 00 00 16   00 0c 00 00 00 00 00 00

This packet is shown as fully correct in Wireshark, but DPDK's
rte_ipv4_cksum() would set the checksum to 0xffff.
