What's your PCI device ID ? My worked ixgbe:
86:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection [8086:10fb] (rev 01)
I'm wondering if people will complain that the patch will mark the real bad checksum UDP as
GOOD. For handling this correctly, looks like driver needs to check the UDP's checksum value,
if zero, then skip the error information, but this makes driver do the network stack things ...
