BTW, I just discovered (thanks to the function graph tracer, woo hoo!)
that loopback TCP packets get fully checksum validated on receive.

I'm trying to figure out why skb->ip_summed ends up being
CHECKSUM_NONE in tcp_v4_rcv() even though it gets set to
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL in tcp_sendmsg().

I wonder how much this accounts for some of the hackbench
oddities... and other regressions in loopback tests we've seen.
:-)

Just FYI...
