[dpdk-dev] RX checksum offloading

[Benson, Bryan]

All,
I have prepared a patch for the issue.  If it is not in the correct format, please advise.  I also changed the array to be uint32_t to be consistent with the other functions that pull the status flags.

Subject: [PATCH] Do not unset the status bits in the scan_hw_ring function
 when counting the number of done descriptors.
