Spec says:
	If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_HDRLEN feature has been negotiated, and
	gso_type differs from VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_NONE, the device MAY use
	hdr_len as the transport header size. Note: Caution should be taken by
	the implementation so as to prevent a malicious driver from attacking
	the device by setting an incorrect hdr_len.

	If the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_HDRLEN feature has not been negotiated, or
	gso_type is VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_NONE, the device MAY use hdr_len only as
	a hint about the transport header size. The device MUST NOT rely on
	hdr_len to be correct. Note: This is due to various bugs in
	implementations.

The device nerver trust the hdr_len completely.
So I think that is safe.

I do not get it.
