I spent some time digging on this topic.

Afaiu the offload API, vhost is not supposed to populate tx offloads.
I would drop this whole parse_ethernet function and replace
vhost_dequeue_offload with what virtio does on the rx side.

Please have a look at this series (especially the last patch):

Thanks.
