If the cpu/DMA implementation is the problem, then turning off
checksums is not an appropriate fix at all.
In fact, we have no idea what the cause is yet.
That makes turning off random features no more than grasping at straws
and makes no sense at all upstream.
It may make sense for you to do such a change locally in _your_ tree
to fix your situation temporarily. But upstream we shouldn't be doing
it.
