FreeBSD pepper 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #29: Mon Jul 21 15:31:40 PDT 2008     root@pepper:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
>Description:
tcp_lro_rx() in sys/netinet/tcp_lro.c calculates the IP checksum of all
non-fragmented TCP packets while determining whether they can be queued for LRO.

Some optimization is possible here if the hardware has already verified the IP
checksum - just take CSUM_IP_CHECKED and CSUM_IP_VALID into account before doing
the checksum in software.
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A.  Problem was discovered while reading the code.
>Fix:
Patch attached.
