I guess it may also depend on bad implementations of csum_partial().
It's wrong that some architecture assume every data in a skbuff are
aligned on a 2byte boundary so that it would access a byte next to
the the last byte where no pages might be there.
And we should know sendfile systemcall also pass pages with any offsets
and any byte while csum_partial() may be called from everywhere
in the kernel including device drivers.
It's time to fix csum_partial().
P.S.
Using "bswap" is little bit tricky.
