   Instead of making changes to my application to use
   sendfile(..), is it possible for me to enable zerocopy
   in 2.4.19 kernel (using a patch or something) so that
   tx checksum can be offloaded to the h/w for every TCP
   packet?

There is no benefit, as we have to copy the data from
userspace into a kernel buffer anyways.  The checksum
can be computed for free in parallel with the copy.
