On the wire between controller and target there's only CRC. If I want to
write a "bad" CRC to disk, I have switch the controller to CRC mode. The
controller can't convert a "bad" IP checksum to a "bad" CRC. The PI test
tooling relies heavily on being able to write "bad" things to disk and
read them back to validate that we detect the error.
