Trying to build against 2.6.24 gives the following:

    CC [M]  /root/kvm/kvm-guest-drivers-linux-1/virtio_net.o
/root/kvm/kvm-guest-drivers-linux-1/virtio_net.c: In function 'receive_skb':
/root/kvm/kvm-guest-drivers-linux-1/virtio_net.c:101: error: implicit declaration of function 'skb_partial_csum_set'
make[2]: *** [/root/kvm/kvm-guest-drivers-linux-1/virtio_net.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/root/kvm/kvm-guest-drivers-linux-1] Error 2

it seems that function isn't available in 2.6.18-2.6.24 or in the driver
download.

Looks like the missing function doesn't show up until 2.6.25-rc1 which
appears to have all of the virtio drivers anyway ?
