 hw csum failure

You'll need to rebase, the patch which made everything force inlined
got merged.

Why still _block? Since the arguments are pre-shifted we should be able
to subtract and add the entire thing, and the math will work out.
Obviously you'd need to shift by the offset in the word, not in a byte
in the caller.

Spurious?
