In virtio spec 0.95, VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM was designed to handle
partially checksummed packets, and the validation of fully checksummed
packets by the device is independent of VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM
negotiation. However, the specification erroneously stated:

  "If VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM is not negotiated, the device MUST set flags
   to zero and SHOULD supply a fully checksummed packet to the driver."

This statement is inaccurate because even without VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_CSUM
negotiation, the device can still set the VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID flag.
Essentially, the device can facilitate the validation of these packets'
checksums - a process known as RX checksum offloading - removing the need
for the driver to do so.

This scenario is currently not implemented in the driver and requires
correction. The necessary specification correction[1] has been made and
approved in the virtio TC vote.
