Huh, right.  I guess that means you can't quite put a maximum size IP
frame on ethernet, because you'll run out of Ethernet MTU before you
run out of IP MTU.

I think we should work based on the IP limits, not the L2 limit: our
operation means we're inherently connected to IP.  *Currently* we
always use Ethernet headers as well, but that could reasonably change
("tun" mode support, or other possible L2s).

So, that would give us:
	IP_MAX_MTU + ETH_HLEN + sizeof(virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf)
