I'd say this is a false positive, given that MTU can't be so large.
Although patch #10 is going to hit the same when setting rx_buf_seg_size
[also a u16] to PAGE_SIZE to make sure there's a single packet per page.

While I can surely address that, I was just wondering about whether this
is an interesting scenario at the moment. I.e., using XDP with 64 Kb pages
is going to be very costly from a memory perspective.
