For information, I'm using kernel 3.2.14-1 from Debian Wheezy with
qemu-kvm package 1.0+dfsg-11 . Quite recent versions so. The bug are
probably not present anymore.
I've tried to add the line <driver name='qemu'/> in the xml description
but I've still got the same behavior. The first packets are ok but the
following ones does have a wrong checksum.
Here is the command line executed by libvirt :
/usr/bin/kvm -S -M pc-1.0 -cpu core2duo,+lahf_lm,+rdtscp,+pdpe1gb,+aes,
+popcnt,+sse4.2,+sse4.1,+dca,+pdcm,+xtpr,+cx16,+tm2,+est,+smx,+vmx,
+ds_cpl,+dtes64,+pclmuldq,+pbe,+tm,+ht,+ss,+acpi,+ds -enable-kvm -m 2000
-mem-prealloc -mem-path /mnt/hugepages/libvirt/qemu -smp

Apparently, vhost_net is not activated (I've unloaded the module to be
sure and the kernel process is not showing).
I'm also wondering about this output :
# ip link show macvtap0
27: macvtap0@vlan222: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc
pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 500
link/ether 52:54:00:0e:58:ae brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Why mode is DEFAULT ? Shouldn't it be bridge ?
