	May be ip_vs_checksum_complete() is not needed here?
Also, skb->csum is not valid for every ip_summed value.
May be we need to apply CHECKSUM_PARTIAL kind of setup for the IPv6.
Such example is net/ipv6/udp.c:udp6_ufo_send_check().
Later dev_queue_xmit() and skb_checksum_help() should take care
for the next steps. Something like this can be tested:

	icmph->icmp6_cksum = csum_ipv6_magic(&iph->saddr,
		&iph->daddr,
		skb->len - icmp_offset, IPPROTO_ICMPV6,
		0);
	skb->csum_start = skb_network_header(skb) - skb->head +
			  icmp_offset;
	skb->csum_offset = offsetof(struct icmp6hdr, icmp6_cksum);
	skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_PARTIAL;
