Hmm I don't get it.

static int virtnet_restore_guest_offloads(struct virtnet_info *vi)
{               
        u64 offloads = vi->guest_offloads;
                        
        if (!vi->guest_offloads)
                return 0;
        
        return virtnet_set_guest_offloads(vi, offloads); 
}               
                        
is the bit _F_GUEST_CSUM set in vi->guest_offloads?

Because if it isn't then we'll try to set _F_GUEST_TSO
without setting _F_GUEST_CSUM and that's a spec
violation I think.
