Yes. You don't even need to cross the page. For example, if you have a
packet length of 300 _within_ the final page then it could go past the
end of the umem. In this case, the CONTIG_MASK would not even be
looked at. The explanation is in the next commit message with the
test. I will improve the commit message here though.
