That should be neccessary at all - there were some bugs in this respect
a long time ago, but it works fine now, assuming you keep your kernels
up2date with errata. Turning off checksum offload will destroy network
performance/throughput for your guests - particularly guest<->guest
networking, but also guest -> network.
