Hi,

That's a common problem across Intel VF devices.
Bothe igb and ixgbe overcomes that problem just by forcing ' 
rxmode.hw_strip_crc = 1;'
at PMD itself:

 static int
ixgbevf_dev_configure(struct rte_eth_dev *dev)
{
...
       /*
         * VF has no ability to enable/disable HW CRC
         * Keep the persistent behavior the same as Host PF
         */
#ifndef RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_PF_DISABLE_STRIP_CRC
        if (!conf->rxmode.hw_strip_crc) {
                PMD_INIT_LOG(NOTICE, "VF can't disable HW CRC Strip");
                conf->rxmode.hw_strip_crc = 1;
        }
#else
        if (conf->rxmode.hw_strip_crc) {
                PMD_INIT_LOG(NOTICE, "VF can't enable HW CRC Strip");
                conf->rxmode.hw_strip_crc = 0;
        }
#endif

Wonder, can't i40e VF do the same?
BTW, all other examples would experience same problem too, right?
