Will wait to hear the rt guys' opinion, but sure, we can do SZ_4K
explicitly. If we go with that in the end, v2 will adjust the other
places that are already using PAGE_SIZE.

Network packets can be big -- ethernet jumbo packets are 9k, for
example -- so that means this could potentially ipsec, wireguard, and
maybe wifi too. (Crypto api users might go through another layer of
indirection that splits things up smaller, maybe.)
