With SCTP checksum offload available in virtio, it is now
possible for virtio to receive a sctp packet with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set (guest-to-guest traffic). SCTP doesn't really have a
partial checksum like TCP does because CRC32c can't do partial
additive checksumming. It's all or nothing. So an SCTP packet
with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL will have checksum set to 0. Let SCTP
treat this as a valid checksum if CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set.
