Ian, Jeremy,

knowing pretty little about networking, it nevertheless seems to me
that the different placement of skb_checksum_setup() (in the receive
paths of pv-ops vs in various transmit paths in legacy) poses a
compatibility problem (nothing done on either side if sending from
pv-ops to legacy, and done on both ends when sending from legacy
to pv-ops). Am I overlooking something here?

Thanks, Jan
