Okay, with some help from upstream kvm (Anthony Liguori), we have a
workaround for this issue in KVM itself.

Basically, Hardy's kernel does not support GSO (general segment
offload).  However, recent kvm/libvirt changes are now utilizing GSO.

In the KVM userspace code, we are going to disable this support for all
guests until upstream designs a workable mechanism for the host sensing
guest support for GSO and use it opportunistically.  Uploading to Jaunty
now.
