It is an issue in general, not in standard cases because network
headers are aligned.

I think it came when I folded csum_partial() and do_csum(), I forgot
to ror() the seed.

I suspect the following would help:

diff --git a/arch/x86/lib/csum-partial_64.c b/arch/x86/lib/csum-partial_64.c

This could be a module, like lib/test_csum.c
