The use of 'unsigned long' variables in the 32-bit part of do_csum()
is confusing at best, and potentially broken for long input on 64-bit
machines.
This changes the code to use 'unsigned int' instead, which makes
the code behave in the same (correct) way on both 32 and 64 bit
machines.

The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and
worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient
way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using
'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but
would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO
would not be clearer.
Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines.
If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum
code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but
at least the code should not break.

Add a generic (unoptimized) implementation of checksum.c in pure C
for use by all architectures that cannot be bother with implementing
their own version.
