Hi.  I don't think it's possible to enable just checksum
offloading, but you can enable it as part of segmentation
offloading support:
  https://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/topics/userspace-tso/

Though, you need to be careful with it.  See the limitations
in the doc.

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
