How does this interact with MTU? If i have an MTU of 1500, and i set
the rx-buf-len to 1000, can i expect all frames to the discarded?
Should the core return -EINVAL? Or do you think some hardware will
simply allocate two buffers and scatter/gather over them? Which
implies that drivers which cannot SG must check if the rx-buf-len is
less than the MTU and return -EINVAL?
