I notice now how ipv6 RAW behaves differently here
than ipv4 RAW.  In ipv4, packet is accepted regardless
of checksum correctness.

I can see both advantages and disadvantages of this
behavior.  But what I want to ask is if ipv6 RAW is
being different on purpose, for example does the ipv6
advanced API specify this perhaps?
