Will do.

I can reproduce the bug with just the patchlet below. It would be even
better to devise a test that detects the corruption without modifying
QEMU, as that could be used as a regression test after the bug itself
is fixed. I'll have to ponder that.

I went ahead and reimplemented e1000 as a variant of e1000e. It's just
a proof of concept, but hopefully a step towards eliminating the
redundancy and manintaining just one codebase rather than two. Please
see the patch series I'm sending separately.

Anyway, here's how I catch the tx checksum offload bug, with a Windows
guest running one TCP iperf and one UDP iperf simultaneously through
the same e1000 interface.
