This looks a bit odd. Doesn't the hardware calculate the CRC here?

thanks

It does, it just seemed to me that since the hardware also has a "CRC
error" bit in its status register, there would be few if any users of
the actual calculated CRC value. Given how eTSEC emulation layer gets
away without calculating CRC I thought that it might be possible to
have this optimization here as well.

I can drop this patch if this seems risky.

Thanks,
Andrey Smirnov

As a general rule QEMU should just emulate what the hardware does
(even if the usual guest software doesn't happen to care about
that corner of the specification).
