Please preserve the current behavior, i.e. do not enforce any particular
upper bound.  (Especially none based on the local link layer controller's
max_receive parameter.)

BTW, after having read RFC 2734, RFC 3146, and the code, I am convinced
that net->mtu should be initialized to 1500, not less.  But such a change
should be done in a separate patch.
