4.4.1 skb_warn_bad_offload+0xc5/0x110

Please keep me in CC.

I've been seeing the following on some of my VMs ran under qemu. The VMs do
not have internet connectivity. This happened when some files were accessed
via NFS to another VM (NOTE: Both VMs throw these warnings. Both VMs are
running the exact same kernel). The host is also throwing these warnings
and is also 4.4.1, but not the same kernel build.

The issue appears to have gone away if I issue the following on the guests
and on the host (except br0 instead of eth0 on host)
ethtool -K eth0 gso off gro off ufo off tso off

On the host, br0 does not have any interfaces enslaved except for the
interface for the VMs and also does not have an IPv4 address assigned.
