I want to give this patch a little more thought.

In the end it's not that critical (this is not
in the normal RX completion data path), and
the way things are currently configured we
won't have checksum offload enabled for the
receiving endpoint anyway.

    --> So I WITHDRAW this patch. <--

I don't think the patch is wrong, but I'm going
to avoid the backport hassle, and wait to address
the issue until it really matters.

Thanks.
