To answer the question, the virtio header is checked at input by Eric's patch. I'm not aware of a way to bypass that, but given the amount of pain and work this is causing, it seems prudent to validate at several levels. Patch 4 is a bugfix - i reproduced it easily but it is not normally encountered in the field - the combination is non practical. -- MST
