Allow disabling the tx checksums on the xen loopback

interface, which is used for the virtual interfaces of dom0 instead
of netfront/netback.

I need to issue ethtool -K eth0 tx off to work around a bad checksum
problem, which has been reported for domUs a few months ago. I'm
bridging dom0's eth0 to a domU where I do NAT to a different virtual
interface. Without this change, I get lots of packets with bad
checksums.
