Subject: udp checksum issue in netpoll mode.

I think we discussed this issue before.

The current checksum function doesn't consider the kind of packet
which is padded to reach a specific minimum length. I believe that's
the problem caused my test case failed. Is this issue fixed? Or is it
acceptable if I make a patch not calculating this kind of packet?

Thanks,
