Can you please clarify what practical problem are you seeing that
you are trying to fix with this patch?

You overwrite checksum here. Hope it will not be checked after that point.
This will work for all interface types defined by Phoenix spec except
SCSI as far as I see. In Phoenix spec SCSI interface is one byte LUN,
in T13 it is changed to be: word SCSI ID, qword LUN.
