Subject: eth0: hw csum failure

Hi,
I'm trying new kernel and I got my dmesg flooded with traces:

If i did git bisect right it was caused by commit
4b275d7efa1c4412f0d572fcd7f78ed0919370b3
bridge: Pseudo-header required for the checksum of ICMPv6

Problem disappears when I turn off HW checksum via ethtool.

Can anybody help?
