Pick a percentage of "acceptable waste" (ie. ratio of truesize to
len).
We know that cutoff values ~200 work for ethernet, for example.
On the topic of these checks that drop the packets, just so there
there is no misunderstanding. We can't remove them else users
could consume memory in a basically uncontrolled manner.
