For vhost-user, we will need to spread TCP payload over several buffers. To re-use tcp_update_check_tcp[4|6](), provide an iovec rather than a pointer to a buffer. This series updates also csum_iov() and pcap_iov() to add an offset of bytes to skip in the iovec array. It's based on top of "tcp: Use tcp_payload_t rather than tcphdr" that is added in the series for convenience. v3 adds "udp: Update UDP checksum using an iovec array" that modifies csum_udp4() and csum_udp6() in the same way.
