Subject: NIC data corruption

I changed the title to be more accurate, and culled the distribution to 
individuals and netdev

The mention of trying to turn-off CKO and see if the data corruption 
goes away leads me to ask a possibly "delicate" question:

   Should "Linux" only enable CKO on those NICs certified to have
   ECC/parity throughout their _entire_ data path?
