Because nobody can explain where this magic number 0x3000 is coming
from or why it is supposed to be sufficient.

And I rejected this because it is pecific to just one use case (QE
support) while I want a generic solution. Also, compile time size
limits are always a bad thing if we can have run-time computed limits
instead.

No. Such information should be part of the firmware image itself.
