I noticed that. :( It is missing the "skip" routine.

Great! It looked fairly optimized when I looked at it.

If the GSOC project for libbsd is slotted, this would be a logical task
to include in it. The first phase of that project was to address in_cksum.

 From there, it moved into other areas like linkcmds changes,
evaluation of existing NIC drivers, etc. Addressing the breadth
that an effort to get it working in the first place isn't going to
tackle.
