Yes, I suspect this is because many people wanted to experiment with
jumbo frames anyway, and the warning in dmesg acted as a sort of
reminder that the infrastructure is there. If it weren't for this
pre-existing interest, I would have expected a patch that silenced this
warning sooner, and not from me (the switches that I have don't print
this message).

Thanks,
