This reverts commit 42ab0148dd.
This patch was supposed to fix the checksum of dhcp response packets
by setting it to 0 (because having a non-0 but incorrect checksum was
causing the packets to be droppe on FreeBSD guests).
Early testing was positive, but after the patch was pushed upstream
and more people could test it, it turned out that while it fixed the
dhcp checksum problem for virtio-net interfaces on FreeBSD and
OpenBSD, it also *broke* dhcp checksums for the e1000 emulated NIC on
*all* guests (but not e1000e).
So we're reverting this fix and looking for something more universal
to be included in the next release.

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
