Enables receiving large packets from other LPARs. These packets
have a -1 IP header checksum, so we must recalculate to have
a valid checksum.

How can this possibly work ?

Normally you would have to set iph->check to 0 before calling
ip_fast_csum(), as done in ip_send_check()

I don't have an answer for why I weren't seeing any problems while testing this, but I'll go back and set iph->check to zero and retest.  Thanks for noticing this.
