Bah. Yeah. Should have just used them directly. I didn't add ETH_MAX_MTU
until after doing the virtio_net changes, so I missed that.

Hm. mtu is declared as an int, not sure if there's any sort of type
promotion to be worried about (not an area I know much/anything about).
Certainly something that could be looked into as a minor optimization,
though it's only in a probe path and shouldn't hurt anything, so ... meh?
