I don't think you need this runtime test. You can just make sure that
sizeof(ps->interface_allowed_mask) == sizeof(ps->ifclaimed) at build
time.

I do find this variable and arbitrary limit a bit confusing, but that's
not your fault - I guess it is an indication that ifnums > 31 are rare
:)

"unsigned long" isn't a very good choice here, is it?
