Okay, I've been working on this today and have gotten to a point where it works :)
But I have a few questions, currently I've made it so the header that you modify
is the only one that gets its checksum updated (with the exception of pseudo
header if the address gets written to), I recompute the changed bytes one at a
time because of the freedom of offset and length. Now this works fine and I can
mangle the ip/ip6 headers or the transport headers (tcp/udp, I'll look into
adding sctp as well), but there's a problem with the cross-header writing i.e.
if a write spills from the network header to the transport header, currently I
only update the network header part (correctly, only up to the bytes that were
changed inside) and leave the transport header broken.
This also applies to the LL header, if a write spills into the network header
then we'll have a broken packet.

Would you like me to add additional logic to support the cross-header writes or
leave it as it is ?
