Running another RHEL6 KVM guest, it doesn't have this problem, so it is
not related with KVM environment.

After adding some debug printk's inside dev_hard_start_xmit(),
->ip_summed is mostly CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, in this case, ->csum_start == 34
(kicking out headroom, of course) and ->csum_offset == 16 look correct
too.
