Open vSwitch and Linux bridge will disable LRO of the interface
when this interface added to them. Now when disable the LRO, the
virtio-net csum is disable too. That drops the forwarding performance.
I had focused on the code previously.

The s/w checksum verification cost is significant in a VM with traffic
to local destinations. A bridge does not verify transport layer
checksums OTOH?
