IP Checksum code from DragonFly BSD

Hello;
Almost a year ago a port of DragonFly's BSD IP checksum code was made:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-May/063286.html
As part of the thread, Alexander Leidinger's experience while building the
kernel with Intel's C was interesting:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-May/063434.html
My understanding is that if FreeBSD's IP checksumming code one day breaks or
doesn't build with a new gcc we will need the patch there ... I hate it when
working patches get lost in the mail archives!
Perhaps someone with good net-fu would consider studying the patch and commit
it, if adequate?
cheers,
Pedro.
